Question revised
Table: shops
+---------+--------+--------+
| shop_id | name | state |
+---------+--------+--------+
| 0 | shop 0 | 5 |
| 1 | shop 1 | 5 |
| 2 | shop 2 | 5 |
| 3 | shop 3 | 2 |
+---------+--------+--------+
Table: items
+------------+--------------+
| shop | item | quantity |
+------------+--------------+
| 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 2 |
| 0 | 2 | 3 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 2 | 0 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 0 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 | 3 |
+------------+--------------+
SELECT state,SUM(i.quantity) total
FROM shops s2
LEFT JOIN items i ON i.shop=s2.shopid
WHERE state=5
GROUP by item
result #1:
+--------+---------+
| state | total |
+--------+---------+
| 5 | 3 |
+--------+---------+
| 5 | 6 |
+--------+---------+
| 5 | 9 |
+--------+---------+
But I would like the totals, like this:
result #2:
+--------+---------+---------+----------+
| state | total 0 | total 1 | total 2 |
+--------+---------+---------+----------+
| 5 | 3 | 6 | 9 |
+--------+---------+---------+----------+
or using group_concat()
result #3
+--------+---------+
| state | totals |
+--------+---------+
| 5 | 3,6,9 |
+--------+---------+
I cannot seem to get group_concat to grab the total column in result #1
Thanks in advance
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.
The difference here is while CONCAT is used to combine values across columns, GROUP_CONCAT gives you the capability to combine values across rows. It's also important to note that both GROUP_CONCAT and CONCAT can be combined to return desired results.
The SEPARATOR specifies a literal value inserted between values in the group. If you do not specify a separator, the GROUP_CONCAT function uses a comma (,) as the default separator. The GROUP_CONCAT function ignores NULL values.
Found a way to do this :
SELECT state,GROUP_CONCAT(cast(total as char))
FROM
(
SELECT state,SUM(i.quantity) total
FROM shops s
LEFT JOIN items i ON i.shop=s.shopid
WHERE state=5
GROUP by item
) s
