C*ALESCE was created by houfton

I tried to search the forum using the word CO*LESCE but it throws a server error! And it wont let me submit this topic without obscuring it with *!

I want to use COA*ESCE() in a MySQL query in a MySQL Field - eg "COAL*SCE(cb_organisation, lastname)" - but it is showing an error when I turn on debugging. Is there a problem with using COALE*CE()?

Also do you use the AS statement? Eg for a field called "cb_mysqlfield", would you use "COALES*E(cb_organisation, lastname) AS cb_mysqlfield"?

It's just plain ol' MYSQL with a few Joomla/CB additives (mainly #__ as prefix and substitutions). So if you've an error then it's likely with your host and their MYSQL server. The CB Query Field plugin simply provides a new feidltype where you can provide a simply select query. Example as follows.

Code:

SELECT `username` FROM `#__users` WHERE `id` = [user_id]

Would be able to better suggest what's happening with the error you're seeing provided.
