Hmmmm. It seems that I don't get replies to a lot of my posts. Do I ask the hard questions or just stupid ones? On sencond thought, don't answer that... ;)

In any case, in reinventing the wheel, I decided to just create a function that uses a REF CURSOR to generically concat the column for me:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION newwheel (p_tabname IN VARCHAR2, p_colname IN VARCHAR2, p_whereclause IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS

	TYPE rc_type IS REF CURSOR;
	rc			rc_type;
	v_col		VARCHAR2(2000);
	v_result	VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
	OPEN rc FOR
		'SELECT '||p_colname||' FROM '||p_tabname||'
'||p_whereclause;
	LOOP
		FETCH rc INTO v_col;
		EXIT WHEN rc%NOTFOUND;
		v_result := v_result||v_col;
	END LOOP;
	CLOSE rc;
	RETURN(v_result);

END newwheel;

Then I can:

SELECT newwheel('PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT','sql_text','WHERE HASH_VALUE = 1232131312')
FROM dual;

Hope this can help someone else!

Hey all,

In 8.1.7.4, does anyone have a SQL that will take the output from the following:

SELECT sql_text
FROM PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT SS
WHERE SS.HASH_VALUE = :myhash
ORDER BY PIECE ...and append/concat all the rows into a single column.

I *know* someone's done this before and I don't want to re-invent the wheel unless I have to.

TIA!
Rich
