Is there a standard way to get headings
from an SQL Query to make groups appear
properly? Here is the raw data that has been ordered and
spit out of the database:
Maine, Augusta, Alpha
Maine, Augusta, Beta
Maine, China, Allen
Maine, China, Zoey
New York, Buffalo, Alice
New York, Buffalo, Zed
I want to have a nice report that prints
with State and City headers thus
Maine
Augusta
Alpha
Beta
China
Allen
Zoey
New York
Buffalo
Alice
Zed
In the past with foxpro I used some nice "banding" report
writers. ... With tcl/sql I've done some messy/kludgy coding
to have group names, like the State and City to print only
once.
** So my question is, what is a good efficient and
elegant way to do reporting.
