This code should give the result you need
select acctnbr,replace(sys_connect_by_path(prodcount,'~'),'~') countstring
from (select acctnbr,
snapshotdate,
prodcount,
row_number() over (partition by acctnbr order by
acctnbr,snapshotdate) new_col
from testtable)
where connect_by_isleaf = 1
connect by prior new_col = new_col-1
and prior acctnbr = acctnbr
start with new_col=1;
The order of the values in the aggregated column is controlled using the
order by clause when generating the row_number.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ian

All,
9.2.0.7 and 10.1.0.4 on AIX 5.2
I'm trying to use ODCIAggregate and Tom Kyte's stringAgg function to
concatenate a number in multiple rows into a string. Below is the
output of the select statements I ran. Create scripts for the table,
type, and function are below the output. I'm expecting the returned
string to be '010203' but it returns '010032'. Unfortunately, it looks
like there's a bug (7194959 to be fixed in 11.2) in ODCIAggregate that
"unsorts" the sorted data when it creates the concatenated string. I've
looked around (asktom, metalink, etc.) and can't seem to find a
work-around for this method. Has anyone come up with one?
