Subject Eliminate Field Repetitions
Author Rocky Castaneda
I have a simple select statement in my stored procedure and I want to
eliminate multiple occurence of field values in the resultset. What
would be the best approach to this type of problem?

ie.

My select statement actually returns the following:

DATE NAME AMOUNT
1/1/2000 ABC 1,000.00
1/2/2000 ABC 1,500.00
1/3/2000 ABC 1,800.00
1/1/2000 DEF 2,000.00
1/2/2000 DEF 3,500.00
1/3/2000 DEF 2,200.00

is it possible to accomplish the following result:

DATE NAME AMOUNT
1/1/2000 ABC 1,000.00
1/2/2000 - 1,500.00
1/3/2000 - 1,800.00
1/1/2000 DEF 2,000.00
1/2/2000 - 3,500.00
1/3/2000 - 2,200.00

Instead of having repetitive occurence of the name field?

TIA,

rocky
