oracle pl/sql results into one string

Question

I'm trying to create a simple stored procedure that stores queried result into one string.

v_string1 varchar2(100);

Select column1
From dual;

Will return

column 1
--------
aaaa
bbbb
cccc

I want to store "aaaa, bbbb, cccc' into v_string1. And all I can think of is a Cursor... Is there a better way to handle this?

Using SQL Fiddle:

select LISTAGG(name, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY 1) AS names
from temp_table
