Hi,
how can I collect text-fields from multiple rows into one output row?
I'd like to do an equivalent to the aggregate function SUM() only for text.
The input is a select that shows among other things a numerical column
where I would like to group by.
The text column of all rows in a group should get concatenated into 1
text devided by a '\n'.
Even better would be if I could add a second text colum per line as topic.
Input e.g.
select group_nr::integer, memo::text, topic::text ...
1, 'bla ', 'weather'
2, 'yada..', 'weather'
2, 'talk talk..', 'cooking'
2, 'words words, ...', 'poetry'
3, ....
Output:
1, 'weather\nbla...'
2, 'weather\nyada..\ncooking\ntalk talk..\npoetry\nwords words, ...'
Even better would be to get some kind of line-chars as optical devider
between the topics.
Lets say 10 = above all topic-lines.
2, '==========\nweather\nyada..\n==========\ncooking\ntalk
talk..\n==========\npoetry\nwords words, ...'
