I agree that it's often better to point someone in the right direction rather
than just writing the query for them, but in this case it was a newbie question.
And therefore it's most important that he tries to learn how to look at
the doc.
Remembering my own troubles learning MySQL, it can be difficult to know *what*
to search for - if this person is completely new to SQL, the concept of joining
a table to itself might not occur.
That's why i gave a hint of where to look.
Or your newbies will start asking every shit on List because the don't
know what to do else.
I know, it is annoying answering questions just because someone can't be
bothered.
I don't answer them. It's just annyoning to see the list overflowing
with posts that had been easily done looking at the docs for a few minutes.
From where I saw it, the difficulty was in concatenating values from 2 rows,
not the concatenation itself. That is why I thought your response was not
sufficient.
Apologies if I caused any offense.
Well it was to be exact concating 2 tables with their rows.
Well your post was also not sufficient, because you didn't helped him at
all, too.
Yes, I know my post didn't answer the question either :) I mailed because I
thought you might've misunderstood the original question and thought it was
just about how to concatenate two strings, rather than the more difficult
joining part.
Well more difficult is relative.
Did not misunderstood.
