You could create a PL/pgSQL function that would take the id of the resolution to query the complaints table and return the concatenation of all the details. That way you could just: SELECT id, foo, bar, concat_resolution_details(id) FROM resolutions; I'd give it a shot at the function, but you didn't give the structure of the table. -Roberto -- +----| Roberto Mello - http://www.brasileiro.net/ |------+ + Computer Science Graduate Student, Utah State University + + USU Free Software & GNU/Linux Club - http://fslc.usu.edu/ + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
