Hi,

how can I collect text-fields from multiple rows into one output row?
I'd like to do an equivalent to the aggregate function SUM() only for text.

The input is a select that shows among other things a numerical column where I would like to group by. The text column of all rows in a group should get concatenated into 1 text devided by a '\n'.

Even better would be if I could add a second text colum per line as topic.

Input e.g.
select  group_nr::integer, memo::text, topic::text ...

1, 'bla ', 'weather'
2, 'yada..', 'weather'
2, 'talk talk..', 'cooking'
2, 'words words, ...', 'poetry'
3, ....

Output:

1, 'weather\nbla...'
2, 'weather\nyada..\ncooking\ntalk talk..\npoetry\nwords words, ...'


Even better would be to get some kind of line-chars as optical devider between the topics.
Lets say 10 = above all topic-lines.

2, '==========\nweather\nyada..\n==========\ncooking\ntalk talk..\n==========\npoetry\nwords words, ...'
