I have chosen to ask this question via an example as I think it most clearly illustrates what I am trying to do.
Say I have the following table:
mem
In Oracle this will do the job,
select a.member,a.number,b.newcol from table a,(select member,replace(wm_concat(number),',','.') newcol from test11 group by member)b where a.member=b.member;
