1, Mike, car

Is there way to build request to get:

1, Mike, boat, sugar, car

Answer 1

Yes, look at GROUP_CONCAT, which collects all the values for each GROUP BY and comma-separates them.

SELCT people.id, people.name, GROUP_CONCAT(goods.name)
FROM people
LEFT JOIN goods_owned ON goods_owned.person_id = people.id
LEFT JOIN goods ON goods.g_id = goods_owned.good_id
WHERE people.id = 3
GROUP BY people.id
