Question

I have a table with two columns [Date], [StopName], i want to write a query which will show both columns as one column like e.g. 12/05/2007: Stop1. So far i was trying like this

SELECT  Date + ':' + StopName as Departure from tbldept.

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

SELECT  to_char(Date, 'DD/MM/YYYY') || ':' || to_char(StopName) as Departure 
from tbldept.

|| is concatenation operator just like in Oracle

UPDT fixed to avoid conversion errors
