You can easily do this using a GROUP BY query and the LIST() operator.

Example.

SELECT tradedate, symbol, list( clientid, '|' )
  FROM T
 GROUP BY tradedate, symbol;

Thanks This works.

I have another question T (table) in my case is really a query (subquery in this case). Even though the subquery only returns 50 records and it is fast when I run it alone, but very slow when I use it as subquery using the above example. is there a way I can use a hint to ask IQ to get the result for subquery first and then do the Group by?

Do you have foreign key(s) that the database can use to make the join - if so it should use them without hints. It might be worth posting the table, index and foreign key definitions - that way you are more likely to get an informed answer. Probably best as a new question.

I can select into #temp table and then select, it is fast to do this way. but just wondering if I can do without temp table solution. In SQL server, we can get away with CTE (Common table Expression). I'm not sure how to do in IQ.
