Good afternoon,
Is there a method to retrieve the following results:
T1(c1 int, c2 varchar(128) )
---------------------------------
(1, val1);
(1, val2);
(1, val3);
(2, val1);
(3, val5);
(3, val6);
select c1, method(c2)
group by c1
returns:
============
1, "val1, val2, val3"
2, "val1"
3, "val5, val6"
Thanks a lot!

Hello
you can use a string%agg function if you have a 9.0. On older version
there is a array_agg function
select c1, array_to_string(array_agg(c2),',') from T1 group by c1
regards

I'm not saying this is good or best but:
select distinct a.c1, array_to_string(array(select c2 from t1 as b where
b.c1 = a.c1),',')
from t1 as a;
c1 | array_to_string
----+-----------------
1 | val1,val2,val3
2 | val1
3 | val5,val6
(3 rows)

SELECT distinct c1,array_to_string(array(SELECT c2 FROM T1 B where A.c1=B.c1),', ') from T1 A order by c1;
Give it a Try !!!

Thanks a lot! Very helpful!
array_to_string() + array() is exactly what I am looking for!
I just wonder that array_to_string() + array() will provide me good
performance, right? If the calculation will be based on millions records.
Thanks again!

it depend on number of groups. This is correlated subquery - it must
not be a best.

Pavel Stehule
the best speed gives a string_agg, but it is only in 9.0
