    My query returns multiple rows based on a single column. Typically 3-9 rows, but 0 rows is also possible. The ECM script in which the query is embedded expects only a single row in the result set, so I need a way get the result set as a single comma list rather than multiple rows, otherwise I miss all but the first value.

    The interface is ODBC, so I need a forum where I can ask about such a list aggregate function in ODBC syntax.

    Thank you,

    Ok, gotcha I used to do a lot with VBA / VB6 back in the day. You could try asking here.

    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=isvvba

    also note SQL server is odbc compliant so the transact sql forum could also apply. In both cases I'd recommend asking specifically about the sql required to return the desired result. If you make mention of oracle or ECM they'll likely toss it to off topic

    If it were SQL server then I'd try asking here.

    Since I am stuck with ODBC, I wouldn't be able to use transact sql specific functions. Actually I am querying an Oracle database, but the ODBC interface would not know about the Oracle LISTACC function. So I have to stick with strictly ODBC compatible functions.

    There isn't an "ODBC" specific forum here on MSDN. You didn't say if this were application development? If so you could try them over here.

    Thank you.

    >There isn't an "ODBC" specific forum here on MSDN.

    I suspected as much. Would you know where I could find one? My Google search didn't turn up one.

    >application development

    Well, sort of. The ECM workflow interface uses BASIC, pre-VB. I forget what it is called. Like the BASIC one can use in EXCEL, etc. I am developing the SQL my colleague can use in the workflow step. Strictly ODBC.

    There's the small basic forum here.

    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=smallbasic

    but I've no idea whether its a fit since I know nothing of your basic ecm workflow

    Instead of Pre-VB I meant Pre-.net. It's VBA. The ECM is Onbase. Anyway I was hoping someone could point me to a place I could post my ODBC questions. Thank you for trying.

    Good point. I appreciate it.

    Interesting. I never would have thought it.

    Hello,

    in addition, if you only have questions about SQL commands, here is a tutorial:

    and you could ask questions here:
