Hello:
This seems like it should be simple, but I am having trouble
figuring it out.
I have a table contact which has:
nameString
contact_id int
Lets assume the contact table has this row:
name: Neil Aggarwal
contact_id: 1
I want to create a
create or replace view
view_AllData as
select
c.name,
concat('C',c.contact_id) as ref
from contact c

That worked. Thanks the the tip.
Now, lets say I have three tables:
contact
contact_id int
prospect
prospect_id int
client
client_id int
If a contact is a prospect, it will have a line in
both the contact and prospect table,
untested, but you are looking for something like this (formatted for humans):
select
concat(
ifnull(
if(l.client_id,'L',null),
ifnull(
if(p.prospect_id,'P',null),
'C')),
c.contact_id) as reference_number,
from contact
