How to use GROUP CONCAT in a CONCAT in MySQL

Question

If I have a table with the following data in MySQL   id       Name       Value 1          A          4 1          A          5 1          B          8 2          C          9   how do I get it into the following format   id         Column 1          A 4 5 B 8 2          C 9    I think I have to use GROUP CONCAT  But I m not sure how it works

First of all  I don t see the reason for having an ID that s not unique  but I guess it s an ID that connects to another table  Second there is no need for subqueries  which beats up the server  You do this in one query  like this  SELECT id GROUP CONCAT name       value SEPARATOR      FROM sample GROUP BY id   You get fast and correct results  and you can split the result by that SEPARATOR      I always use this separator  because it s impossible to find it inside a string  therefor it s unique  There is no problem having two A s  you identify only the value  Or you can have one more colum  with the letter  which is even better  Like this    SELECT id GROUP CONCAT DISTINCT name    GROUP CONCAT value SEPARATOR      FROM sample GROUP BY name

Try   CREATE TABLE test     ID INTEGER    NAME VARCHAR  50     VALUE INTEGER     INSERT INTO test VALUES  1   A   4   INSERT INTO test VALUES  1   A   5   INSERT INTO test VALUES  1   B   8   INSERT INTO test VALUES  2   C   9    SELECT ID  GROUP CONCAT NAME ORDER BY NAME ASC SEPARATOR      FROM     SELECT ID  CONCAT NAME       GROUP CONCAT VALUE ORDER BY VALUE ASC SEPARATOR       AS NAME   FROM test   GROUP BY ID  NAME   AS A GROUP BY ID    SQL Fiddle  http   sqlfiddle com   2 b5abe 9 0

SELECT id          Group concat column   FROM    SELECT id                  Concat name       Group concat value   AS column          FROM   mytbl          GROUP  BY id                     name  tbl  GROUP  BY id

SELECT id  GROUP CONCAT CONCAT WS      Name  CAST Value AS CHAR 7    SEPARATOR      AS result      FROM test GROUP BY id   you must use cast or convert  otherwise will be return BLOB  result is   id         Column 1          A 4 A 5 B 8 2          C 9   you have to handle result once again by program such as python or java

select id  group concat  Name  separator      as  ColumnName  from     select      id       concat  Name        group concat  Value  separator       as  Name    from mytbl   group by      id        Name    tbl group by id    You can see it implemented here   Sql Fiddle Demo  Exactly what you need   Update Splitting in two steps  First we get a table having all values comma separated  against a unique Name id   Then from obtained table we get all names and values as a single value against each unique id See this explained here SQL Fiddle Demo  scroll down as it has two result sets   Edit There was a mistake in reading question  I had grouped only by id  But two group contacts are needed if  Values are to be concatenated grouped by Name and id and then over all by id   Previous answer was  select  id group concat concat  name       value   separator      as Result from mytbl group by id   You can see it implemented here   SQL Fiddle Demo
