Hi Manatel, I'm writing off list as this is related to donations. We would welcome donations as mentioned on our web site.
I would like to clarify the feature that you require. The SUM(<string expression>) aggregate function would return the concatenations of the strings in different rows. So if there are three rows with the data given below, the result would be COLA | COLB ----------------- apple 10 orange 8 pear 3 Then SELECT SUM(COLA) FROM ATABLE will return appleorangepear And SELECT SUM(COLA || ' ') FROM ATABLE will return apple orange pear But if there is any condtion in the SELECT, the order of strings may be different SELECT SUM(COLA) FROM ATABLE where COLB >0 pearorangeapple Please clarify and confirm exactly what you require Regards Fred ----- Original Message ----- From: matanel deutsch To: Developer issues for the hsqldb Database Engine.

The class that handles the aggregates is SetFunction and it is relatively easy to add new functions to this class. But references to any new function should also be added to Parser and Expression classes, so that they are recognised and evaluated.
