I have two entities: create table families ( family_id number primary key, family_name varchar(100) not null ); create table members ( member_id number primary key, family_id number references family_id, first_name varchar(100) ); I'd like to display a list of families with a list of members who are in each family. Something like this: Campbell (Ryan, Wendy, Henry, Thomas) What are the possible solutions to this? It would be nice to be able to do something like this: select family_name, '(' || join(select member_name where family_id = f.family_id, ', ') || ')' as family_members from family f The 'join' is meant in the sense of the PERL, TCL or Javascript join function: taking a list of items and appending them together into a string with a given delimiter. Perhaps 'flatten' would be less confusing. Is there already something like this out there? Would it be possible to write something like it? Or is there an existing method that allows me to achieve the same result (without having to result to doing it by hand in a stored proc or in my program)? I like this solution because it's generic, but perhaps I'm taking the wrong approach. Thanks, Ryan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
