I have two columns in oracle database
+---------+---------+
| Column1 | Column2 |
+---------+---------+
| A | 1 |
| A | 2 |
+---------+---------+
I want to retireive the data like i will get data as result
+---------+---------+
| Column1 | Column2 |
+---------+---------+
| A | 1,2 |
+---------+---------+
Please provide me the solution.
All abow answers are correct and I want to add one case to solve small problem. In my case my_column1
type was nvarchar2
but text was number
and the bellow code does not work and display me only whitespace:
select group_id, listagg( t.my_column1 || '-' || to_char(t.doc_date,'dd.mm.yyyy') || ' ') within group(order by doc_date)
from my_table t
group by group_id
when I wrote like this it works.
select group_id, listagg( to_char(t.my_column1) || '-' || to_char(t.doc_date,'dd.mm.yyyy') || ' ') within group(order by doc_date)
from my_table t
group by group_id
I hope my feedback would save someone's time
Tim Hall has a pretty canonical list of string aggregation techniques in Oracle.
Which technique you use depends on a number of factors including the version of Oracle and whether you are looking for a purely SQL solution. If you are using Oracle 11.2, I'd probably suggest using LISTAGG
SELECT column1, listagg( column2, ',' ) WITHIN GROUP( order by column2 )
FROM table_name
GROUP BY column1
If you are using an earlier version of Oracle, assuming you don't need a purely SQL solution, I would generally prefer using the user-defined aggregate function approach.
If you have got 10g, then you have to go through the function below:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_comma_separated_value (input_val in number)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
return_text VARCHAR2(10000) := NULL;
BEGIN
FOR x IN (SELECT col2 FROM table_name WHERE col1 = input_val) LOOP
return_text := return_text || ',' || x.col2 ;
END LOOP;
RETURN LTRIM(return_text, ',');
END;
/
So, you can do like:
select col1, get_comma_separated_value(col1) from table_name
Fiddle here
If you have got oracle 11g, you can use listagg :
SELECT
col1,
LISTAGG(col2, ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY col2) "names"
FROM table_x
GROUP BY col1
Fiddle here for Listagg
For mysql, its gonna be simple:
SELECT col1, GROUP_CONCAT(col2) FROM table_name GROUP BY col1
