I have a table, MapLocation, which has a column and two relationships with tables that have a field that really need to be displayed as a single concatenated value. I was thinking this was a perfect case for a computed column, but not sure how to go about it.
MapLocation MaoNo Section
_____________________ _____________________ _____________________
MapNoId MapNoId SectionId
SectionId MapNumber (int) Section (int)
Identifier (nvarchar)
LocationName (nvarchar)
LocationName = "MapNUmber - SectionNumber - Identifier"
ex: 20 - 03 - SW4
How would I write that? I haven't done much with computed columns or concatenating in SQL.
Edit:
I need an actual computed column that is automatically updated, im looking for the formula. Or is this more of a function/trigger? Its possible, I certainly barely know what I'm doing. The idea is that I dont want to have to do two more server calls and concatenate these values client side.
