Concatenation issues

Question

I have a table \"Patient\" which has 5 fields.

CREATE TABLE PATIENT
(PAT_ID         CHAR (4) PRIMARY KEY,
 PAT_NAME       VARCHAR (7),
 ADMITTED       DATE,
 ROO         


        

Answer 1

SELECT CONCAT(PAT_ID, ' ', PAT_NAME) AS Patient,
    DOCTOR AS Doctor, ROOM AS Room, ADMITTED AS Admitted
FROM PATIENT

Answer 2

It turns out you're actually using Oracle Database. I'm still not sure exactly which fields you're trying to concatenate in which way, but this should be enough to get you rolling:

CREATE VIEW PATIENT_REPORT 
AS
SELECT
  PATIENT.PAT_ID||' '||PATIENT.PAT_NAME as "patient",
  PATIENT.DOCTOR||' '||PATIENT.ROOM||' '||PATIENT.ADMITTED as "details"
FROM PATIENT;

Here's a live demo on SQL Fiddle.

Answer 3

here is the query that creates view by name "view_name":

  create or replace view view_name as
select t.Pat_Id || ' ' || t.Pat_Name Patient,
       t.Doctor,
       t.Room,
       to_char(t.Admitted, 'Month dd, yyyy') Admitted
  from Patient t 
with read only;

you can select as

SELECT * FROM VIEW_NAME

I think that here provided enough information, that you can add or manipulate (other) columns wether to show.
