Same approach, written in a different way:
Code:
awk '{s=s (s?OFS:x) q $0 q} END{print s}' q=\' OFS=, file

With sed ( not so nice Smilie )
Code:
sed -e "s/^/\'/;s/$/\'/" INPUT_FILE | sed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/,/g'

Code:
sed -n -e '1{s/^/'\''/;h;}' -e '1!H;${x;s/\n/'\'','\''/g;s/$/'\''/;p;}'

or
Code:
sed -e ':a' -e 'N;$!ba' -e 's/\n/'\'','\''/g;s/^/'\''/;s/$/'\''/'

Another sed:
Code:
sed -n "s/.*/'&'/"'; 1h; 1!H; $g; $s/\n/,/gp' file

CoolSmilie, it's of course simpler. And also works around the SmiliehistorySmilie in interactive bash.
