Having re-read my email and had another go, I've opted for the sub-select
approach, and come up with:
select rtid, concat(task) from
(select rtid,
case when r.rlid > 0 then
r.rcid::text || ' on ' || l.lnumber::text
else
r.rcid::text
end as task
from rides r
left outer join loco_dets l on r.rlid = l.lid) r
group by rtid
order by rtid
;
Can anyone see any problems with this, or come up with a better approach?
