I wanted to select several rows of data and have them returned in a
single record with the rows joined by a delimiter. Turns out this is

SELECT
The query would become
SELECT a.id, a.name, array_acc(b.name) as b_names
FROM a LEFT JOIN b USING(id)
GROUP BY a.id, a.name;
All variants are possible. Variant with array_to_string is faster and
doesn't need own aggregate function. And you can easy remove
duplicities.
SELECT a.id, a.name,
This is not a question, but a solution. I just wanted to share this
with others on the list in case it saves you a few hours of searching...
