Postgresql replace codes with descriptions

Asked by mvalencia in PostgreSQL Database

Tags: comma seperated codes, replace with descriptions

I have a select statement that returns a single row for each record as expected but one of the columns contains comma separated codes and I need to replace the codes in the column with comma separated descriptions. I do have a table that shows descriptions for the codes but don't know how to replace the codes and maintain the number of columns and single row per stock record.

Here is a sample of the results:
"L090434","N",",995,925,946,"

             SELECT  stocknumber,  inventorystatus,  options
 FROM   stock  LEFT OUTER JOIN vehicleoptions ON vehicleoptions.option_cd = stock.options
