You could do [year]*12 + [order_by] like so: >>> [1970] * 12 + ['foo'] [1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1970, 'foo'] >>> I don't know which database you're using, but the above doesn't look like SQL'92... -- bjorn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
