Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mike, Just wanted to supplement your example with another one from my environment: SELECT c.customer_id ,customer_name ,utils.code_table_to_string(CAST( MULTISET( SELECT distinct dlr_dealer_code FROM dealer_customers dc ,dlr_dealer_master_t WHERE dc.customer_id = dc_in.customer_id AND dlr_dealer_id = dc.dealer_id ORDER BY dlr_dealer_code ) AS code_table_t )) spans_these_dealers FROM customers c ,( SELECT customer_id FROM dealer_customers GROUP BY customer_id HAVING COUNT(distinct dealer_id) > 1 ) dc_in WHERE dc_in.customer_id = c.customer_id; Does eseentially the same thing. In this case it concatenates the dealer_codes per customer (identifies customers spanning multiple dealers) on the same row. Here is a sample of the output: 2969473096 Mountain Enterprises Inc D100,D470,D480 2969473121 K C Construction B010,B150,B190 2969473195 GOODFELLOW BROS H140,H330 --- Mike Spalinger wrote: > Imran, > > Tom Kyte has a thread that might help: > http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:1554835115460038644::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:229614022562, > > Essentially, you can do this: > > CREATE or replace FUNCTION CONCAT_LIST( cur SYS_REFCURSOR ) > RETURN VARCHAR2 IS > ret VARCHAR2(32000); > tmp VARCHAR2(4000); > BEGIN > loop > fetch cur into tmp; > exit when cur%NOTFOUND; > ret := ret || ' ' || tmp; > end loop; > RETURN ret; > END; > / > > SQL> select * from mike; > > ID TEXT ORDR > ---------- ---------- ---------- > 1 B 2 > 1 A 1 > 1 C 3 > > SELECT id, SUBSTR(CONCAT_LIST(CURSOR( > SELECT text > FROM (select id, text, ordr from mike order by ordr) ee > WHERE e.id = ee.id)),1,40) list > FROM ( select distinct id from mike) e; > > ID LIST > ---------- -------------------- > 1 A B C > > Mike > > > Imran Ashraf wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have the following data , table Temp > > > > ID Text Order > > 1 B 2 > > 1 A 1 > > 1 C 3 > > > > > > I want to write a query which says: wherever there is more than 1 > occurrence > > of ID then concatenate the text in the order specified in the > order column. > > So i would get: > > > > ID Text > > 1 A B C > > > > Any suggestions? > > > > Thanks > > > > Imran > > > -- > Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net > -- > Author: Mike Spalinger > INET: Michael.Spalinger@Sun.COM > > Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com > San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting > services > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message > to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in > the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L > (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
