Hi,
I'n in an environment where I cannot make stored procedures. Now I need
to make a query with a subquery in the SELECT part which gives a comma
separated list of results:
SELECT
p.id,
listFunction(SE LECT name FROM names WHERE name_parent=p.i d) AS
'nameList'
FROM projects AS p
This query should return something like:
1, "john,mike,petr a"
2, "bob,carl,sandr a,peter,
etc
listFunction is (of course) not (yet) defined. Is this possible without
the use of stored procedures?

And your client code is written in? Or why do suggest that you can do
this in client code?
You can do it in SQL, but it is just that it kludgy. And you will have
to accept a upper limit on how long the output may be.

1) Mike wants his list for several rows in this table, so he would
still have to iterate over each id he wants to aggregate for.
2) The above relies on undocumented and undefined behaviour, why I
recommend against using it. The only safe way is build the list
iteratively. For more information look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=287515.

This is a function I use to do what you describe. I found the
function someplace on the Internet (don't remember where). Maybe you can
modify it for your use.
DECLARE @NbrList VarChar(300) Declare @InvoiceID Varchar(30)
SELECT @NbrList = COALESCE(@NbrLi st + ', ', '') + CAST(C.TRACKING _NO AS varchar(30))
FROM dbo.SHIPPER S INNER JOIN dbo.SHIPPER_LIN K SL ON S.PACKLIST_ID = SL.PACKLIST_ID INNER JOIN dbo.CARTON_LINE CL ON SL.CARTON_ID = CL.CARTON_ID AND SL.CARTON_LINE_ NO = CL.LINE_NO INNER JOIN dbo.CARTON C ON CL.CARTON_ID = C.ID WHERE S.INVOICE_ID = @InvoiceID SELECT @NbrList GO
Looks interesting (although behaviour may be unexpected), it may be
useful for me.
I'll let you know

Hi,
In a table I have two numeric fields (e.g. FieldA and FieldB). Both fields

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
