I don't use Oracle, but I think array_agg() is the closest - it aggregates the column into an array. postgres=# create table test(a integer, b text); CREATE TABLE postgres=# insert into test values (1, 'abc'); INSERT 0 1 postgres=# insert into test values (2, 'def'); INSERT 0 1 postgres=# insert into test values (2, 'ghi'); INSERT 0 1 postgres=# select a, array_agg(b) from test group by a; a | array_agg ---+----------- 1 | {abc} 2 | {def,ghi} (2 rows) Ray. -- Raymond O'Donnell :: Galway :: Ireland rod@xxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
