if running on 9i or above, PIPELINE function can be used to do this.
How about something like this:
create table test1 as select * from dba_objects;
create or replace function test_f (vid in varchar2) return varchar2 as vout varchar2(50); begin for i in (select object_id from test1 where object_name=vid) loop vout := vout||' '||i.object_id; end loop; return vout; end; /
select distinct object_name, test_f(object_name) from test1 where object_name='TEST_OBJ'; OBJECT_NAME NAME ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- TEST_OBJ 2101 24011 24075 241258
You can use similar functionality in your case.

Do you mean:
select to_char(a.at_id)||' '||to_char(alarm_interval)||' '||c3.email_address||' '||c4.email_address from alarm_type a, contact c3, contact c4 where a.at_id = 1 and c3.at_id = a.at_id and c4.at_id = a.at_id and c3.contact_id = 3 and c4.contact_id = 4;
?
If you're at a sufficient RDBMS Level, you might profit from
from alarm_type a, (select at_id,email_address from contact where contact_id = 3) c3, (select at_id,email_address from contact where contact_id = 4) c4
and losing the last two ands. (Although in a perfect CBO world it wouldn't matter).

Arg. I know I've seen this before and I may have actually done it before, but I'll be darned if I can remember how.
In 9.2, I have two tables kinda like these:
CREATE TABLE ALARM_TYPE ( AT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL, ALARM_INTERVAL NUMBER NOT NULL ) /
Insert into ALARM_TYPE (AT_ID, ALARM_INTERVAL) Values (1, 10); COMMIT;
CREATE TABLE CONTACT ( CONTACT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL, AT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL, EMAIL_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(200) NOT NULL ) /
Insert into CONTACT (CONTACT_ID, AT_ID, EMAIL_ADDRESS) Values (3, 1, 'someone@xxxxxxxxxx'); Insert into CONTACT (CONTACT_ID, AT_ID, EMAIL_ADDRESS) Values (4, 1, 'else@xxxxxxxxxx'); COMMIT;
I would like a query to return a single row:
1 10 someone@xxxxxxxxxx, else@xxxxxxxxxx
I had tried fudging SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH and some of the XML functions, but I'm not having any luck. Something along those lines would be an ideal solution for me for this project. But since these are new tables, I'm not opposed to a structure change, although I'm not sure I want to go with the OO approach (e.g. VARRAY column for the email addresses).
Of course, this is way-oversimplified for the sake of brevity.
Anyone???
