Oracle Cast Collect Equivalent in Vertica?

jonnokc

Hi I am looking to see if there is an Oracle SQL Cast Collect equivalent in Vertica.

The was an easy way to "collect" column values together into the same cell instead of creating a new row.

Example:

Lake, Boats, Red
Lake, Boats, Blue

Would look like...

Lake, Boats, [Red | Blue]

There is no equivalent function in Vertica. In an Analytic Database I'm not sure which use case the Collect function would fulfill. Can you provide an example?

I'm probably off-base with this, and when I see the example I think of grouped columns.
