given create table t1 (f,f1,f2,f3); create table t2 (f,f4,f5,f6);
i'm trying to create a function concat() that does something like: select f,concat() as info from t1; which returns a result set equivalent to: select f,('f1:' || f1 || '- f2:' || f2 || '- f3:' || f3) as x from t1; or select f,concat() as info from t2; returns equivalent select f,('f4:' || f4 || ' - f5:' || f5 || ' - f6:' || f6) as x from t2; I'm starting to believe this is not possible, has anyone already done it? :-) Robert Treat -- Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
