Something like:

 SELECT array_to_string(array(select myfield from mytable), ','));

For example:

sherkin=# select * from t1;
 c1 | c2
----+----
 1 |
 2 |  3
 2 |  4
 2 |  5
(4 lignes)

sherkin=# SELECT array_to_string(array(select c1 from t1), ',');
 array_to_string
-----------------
 1,2,2,2
(1 ligne)
