Subject: Merging rows into one result?
Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 17:31:33 +0100
Message-ID: <20060311173133.1358a018@io.solnet> (raw)

Is it possible to use SQL to merge data into one result?

A theorethical example to explain:

tbl_test (
  id integer,
  information varchar(25))

id | information
---+--------------
1  | Yo
2  | Go away
1  | Stay put
3  | Greetings

Please note id is not unique and not a primary key.

and I wonder if there is any functions to "merge" data (sort of
concat'ing).
A normal: select information from tbl_test where id=1
would result in the rows
 Yo
 Stay put

I would like a single row result in the format of:
 Yo Stay put

Any ideas on this?

Best regards
Jesper K. Pedersen
