I think he is talking about multiple detail strings per master record and he
wants to concatenate these.

You need to create a stored function which concatenate all strings and
returns it as one string. This function needs then to be called with the
parentkey as parameter and can be included in your initial call like "select
mastername, yourconcfunction(masterid) from MasterTable"

Subject: [firebird-support] How to get detail strings all concatenated

Hi all!
I want to get a master record along with a concatenation of detail
strings in a single record.
How do I do it?
Greeting, Marcelo.

[PM] Try

Select m.Mastername||(select d.DetailName from DetailTable d where
d.MasterId=m.MasterId) from MasterTable m

Regards,

Paul
