MySQL | Group_CONCAT() Function. The GROUP_CONCAT() function in MySQL is used to concatenate data from multiple rows into one field. This is an aggregate (GROUP BY) function which returns a String value, if the group contains at least one non-NULL value. Otherwise, it returns NULL.
To concatenate strings in MySQL with GROUP BY, you need to use GROUP_CONCAT() with a SEPARATOR parameter which may be comma(') or space (' ') etc.
You can concatenate rows into single string using COALESCE method. This COALESCE method can be used in SQL Server version 2008 and higher. All you have to do is, declare a varchar variable and inside the coalesce, concat the variable with comma and the column, then assign the COALESCE to the variable.
Absolutely. It will result in filtering the records on your date range and then grouping it by each day where there is data.
No CURSOR, WHILE loop, or User-Defined Function needed.
Just need to be creative with FOR XML and PATH.
[Note: This solution only works on SQL 2005 and later. Original question didn't specify the version in use.]
CREATE TABLE #YourTable ([ID] INT, [Name] CHAR(1), [Value] INT) INSERT INTO #YourTable ([ID],[Name],[Value]) VALUES (1,'A',4) INSERT INTO #YourTable ([ID],[Name],[Value]) VALUES (1,'B',8) INSERT INTO #YourTable ([ID],[Name],[Value]) VALUES (2,'C',9) SELECT [ID], STUFF(( SELECT ', ' + [Name] + ':' + CAST([Value] AS VARCHAR(MAX)) FROM #YourTable WHERE (ID = Results.ID) FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE).value('(./text())[1]','VARCHAR(MAX)') ,1,2,'') AS NameValues FROM #YourTable Results GROUP BY ID DROP TABLE #YourTable
