how to compare rows

Posted by Anne Bos on 08/05/06 17:46

Hi everybody,
I have a small database of a journal. It contains a table AUTHORS,a
table ARTICLES and a link-table AUTART.
Constructing a query asking for articles having some special word in
the title and showing the results in a table is not that difficult,
but if a resulting article has two or more authors, I get the
following:
Adamson, A. Some new ideas
Bacardi, C. Some new ideas
etc.
I want in such case show the result like this:
Adamson, A. and Bacardi, C. Some new ideas.
(And of course more people likewise if an article has more authors.)

I understand that, to do that I have to compare row i and row i+1 and
act appropriately if these rows have identical results in the
articles-column.
I'm sure it has a simple solution but somehow I'm struck with
blindness in this respect.

Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance,
Anne Bos
