| Anthony writes "Hello, I wanted to see if it was possible to convert a Column Variable (that is comma delimited) to a string in SQL? I need to perform a %LIKE% operation on it and won't allow me to do it on a column... here is the code: 1. SELECT GroupName, Count(Subscribers.GroupName) AS num_subscribers 2. FROM Groups LEFT OUTER JOIN Subscribers 3. ON Groups.GroupName LIKE %Subscribers.GroupName% 4. GROUP BY Groups.GroupName On line 3. I am comparing the value of Groups.GroupName with Subscribers.GroupName, which is a comma delmited list. If I could convert Subscribers.GroupName to a string somehow, would that work, or should I take a different approach? Thanks a bunch!!" |
