I have a table with just two columns - id int auto_increment and name varchar(255). I'd like to have a third "virtual" column called code. The SQL for retrieving all three columns would be: select id, name, conv(id,10,36) as code from table where name = ? conv is a (possibly mysql-only) function that converts the first argument from the base second arg to base third arg. (In this case it converts the id from base 10 to base 36). Is there a way to do this with CDBI? -- Jason Bodnar [email protected] http://www.shakabuku.org UnWired Buyer. The best way to win on eBay.
