Re: Merging lines with NULLs (with example data)

Thank you, and sorry for the late answer, I was far away from a decent
internet connection...

I'll try both your solutions, EXPLAIN ANALYSE will elect the winner... In
any case that will be cleaner than my dirty hack (2 distinct queries) which
generate a lot of garbage...

Thanks again,
