(The Return of Mr SQL :-)) -----Original Message----- From: John Quarto-vonTivadar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 06:20 To: CF-Talk Subject: brain fart: some simple SQL hello everyone, well, it's 1 am and I'm having a brainfart on something that is relatively simple: I've got a simple LEFT JOIN, where i retrieve the UserID and the ServiceID's of Services that User needs. Since they are realted through a many-2-many relationship, I get something like UserID ServiceID 1 402 1 417 1 533 2 200 2 201 3 {null} ok, no problem. What I *REALLY* want in the result set is for the ServiceID to be turned into a list, something like: UserID ServiceIDs 1 402,417,533 2 200,201 3 {null} Yeah, it's easy, but inefficient, to do with CF but how can I make SQL do this for me (esp with the {null})? It's gonna turn out to be something easy that I've seen before, but I haven't had to write something like this for like a year and now I'm drawing a one in the morning blank. Is it a GROUP BY thing? or a sub-query thing? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
