You need to "concatenate" the values. In DB2, you use ||. In SQL Server you use +.
SELECT col1 || col2 AS newCol SELECT col1 + col2 AS newCol I'm not sure about MySQL, but it should be similar. You might also find a CONCAT() database function with unlimited arguments: SELECT CONTACT(col1, col2, coln) AS newCol m!ke -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 11:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: How to combine multiple fields into one alias? Hi, all... How do I combine multiple fields into one alias in my SQL (MySQL 5)? E.g., select remarks_01, remarks_02, remarks_03, remarks_04 as remarks That would give me remarks_04 an alias of "remarks". How do I combine all the remarks into one alias? Or should I do that in the value attribute in my insert query? value='#get_data.remarks_01# #get_data.remarks_02# #get_data.remarks_03# #get_data.remarks_04#' ???
