Hi
I have this :
CREATE FUNCTION "comma_cat" (text,text) RETURNS text AS '
SELECT CASE WHEN $2 IS NULL OR $2 = '''' THEN $1
WHEN $1 IS NULL OR $1 = '''' THEN $2
ELSE $1 || '', '' || $2
END
' LANGUAGE 'sql';
CREATE AGGREGATE list ( BASETYPE = text, SFUNC = comma_cat, STYPE = text,
INITCOND = '' );
I can use it as :
select user, list(email) from user join email using (id_user);
user | list
-------+-----------------------------
mat | mat(at)mat(dot)cc, mat(at)absolight(dot)fr
isa | isa(at)mat(dot)cc
but now, I'd like a better version of this function/aggregate couple which
would allow me to do something like :
select user, list(email, ',') from user join email using (id_user);
user | list
-------+-----------------------------
mat | mat(at)mat(dot)cc,mat(at)absolight(dot)fr
isa | isa(at)mat(dot)cc
or :
select user, list(email, '|') from user join email using (id_user);
user | list
-------+-----------------------------
mat | mat(at)mat(dot)cc|mat(at)absolight(dot)fr
isa | isa(at)mat(dot)cc
I know I'd have to modify the function to take a third argument (easy) but
I don't know how to use a 2 argument aggregate (I don't even know if it's
possible).
