Would it be possible to construct SQL to concatenate column values from multiple rows?
The following is an example:
Table A
PID A B C
With SQL model clause:
SQL> select pid
2 , ltrim(sentence) sentence
3 from ( select pid
4 , seq
5 , sentence
6 from b
7 model
8 partition by (pid)
9 dimension by (seq)
10 measures (descr,cast(null as varchar2(100)) as sentence)
11 ( sentence[any] order by seq desc
12 = descr[cv()] || ' ' || sentence[cv()+1]
13 )
14 )
15 where seq = 1
16 /
P SENTENCE

I wrote about this here. And if you follow the link to the OTN-thread you will find some more, including a performance comparison.
