Suppose I have a table like this: NAME GROUP name1 groupA name2 groupB name5 groupC name4 groupA name3 groupC I'd like to have a result like this: GROUP NAMES groupA name1,name4 groupB name2 groupC name3,name5 If there were only one column in the table, I could concatenate the records by doing the following, but with grouping in the context, I really don't have much idea. Any suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance! Concatatenating one column table: SELECT names FROM (SELECT SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(names,' ') names, level FROM name_table START WITH names = (SELECT names FROM name_table WHERE rownum = 1) CONNECT BY PRIOR names < names ORDER BY level DESC) WHERE rownum = 1
