Integrating 2 rows into one...

Question

Hi ,
I have the following query result:
76  19/07/2007 .........        xxxxx   .........
76   ..............  20/07/2007 .........   yyyyyI want to display in one query row the above where the two records (always there are two records per id - 76 here) are linked together by the first column value in the following format...
76  19/07/2007 - 20/07/2007  xxxxxx - yyyyyy - xxxxxxIs it possible to do that...????
NOTE: I use Oracle10g Standard Edition and the "......." in the example above represent null values...

Answer 1

maybe this example might give you some ideas.
SQL> select * from pivot_tab;
      COL1 COL2
         1 a
         1 b
         1 c
         2 h
         2 h
SQL> select p.col1,
  2         substr(max(substr(sys_connect_by_path (p.col2,','),2)),1,60)
  3         as col2
  4    from (select col1,
  5                 col2,
  6                 row_number() over (partition by col1 order by col1, col2) rn
  7            from pivot_tab) p
  8  start with p.rn = 1
  9  connect by p.rn = prior p.rn + 1
10  and prior p.col1 = p.col1
11  group by col1;
      COL1 COL2
         1 a,b,c
         2 h,h
