My brain is mush. I know this has got to be simple but right now simple things escape me...

I have "Person" table" and a "Language" table with a one to many relationship. I want to return a list of persons and any language spoken (if any) similar to below:

Name Address Position Languages
jim brown 1 Test Dr Manager Spanish, French
mary smith 2 test dr clerk Spanish
paul jones 3 test dr clerk

TIA
 
This will work if there are no duplicate rows between Name and Language.

Code:
select Name from Person group by Name having count(Name) > 1

You need to use a function to colapse the languages into a single field in the users row. This forum should have several examples on how to do it. Check out the Search feature above.

To return a comma delimited list of languages, I recommend you take a look here: thread183-1159740

Performance of functions can suck.
