i Tried To Do This

Join tickets with group_concat( comments ) and fetch data some thing like this

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
| tic_id | tic_files                                                 |  com_files                                                                |

But i will try to use more than group_concat ( in all servers limit is 1024 kb ) so i want to get count use delimiter between files ” , “

Solved

This is my query

SELECT
                  cat_id as cat__id ,
                  cat_name,(
                    SELECT count(tickets.tic_id) from tickets INNER JOIN cats on(tickets.tic_cat = cats.cat_id) where tickets.tic_cat = cat__id  group by tickets.tic_cat limit 1
                  ) as "count(tickets)",(
                     SELECT  ( LENGTH( GROUP_CONCAT(tickets.tic_files)) - LENGTH( REPLACE( GROUP_CONCAT(tickets.tic_files ) , "," , "" ) ) + 1 )  FROM tickets
                     INNER join cats on ( tickets.tic_cat = cats.cat_id )
                     WHERE tickets.tic_files != "" AND  tickets.tic_cat = cat__id
                      LIMIT 1
                   )  as "count(ticket_files)",(
                    SELECT  GROUP_CONCAT(tickets.tic_files)  FROM tickets
                     inner join cats on ( tickets.tic_cat = cats.cat_id )
                     WHERE tickets.tic_files != "" AND tickets.tic_cat = cat__id
                      LIMIT 1
                   ) as "tickets_files",
                  COUNT(comments.tic_id),(
                     SELECT  ( LENGTH( GROUP_CONCAT(comments.com_files)) - LENGTH( REPLACE( GROUP_CONCAT(comments.com_files ) , "," , "" ) ) + 1 )  FROM comments
                     INNER join tickets on ( tickets.tic_id = comments.tic_id )
                     INNER join cats on ( tickets.tic_cat = cats.cat_id )
                     WHERE comments.com_files != "" AND comments.tic_id = tickets.tic_id and tickets.tic_cat = cat__id
                      LIMIT 1
                   )  as "count(com_files)",(
                    SELECT  GROUP_CONCAT(comments.com_files)  FROM comments
                     INNER join tickets on ( tickets.tic_id = comments.tic_id )
                     inner join cats on ( tickets.tic_cat = cats.cat_id )
                     WHERE comments.com_files != "" AND comments.tic_id = tickets.tic_id and tickets.tic_cat = cat__id
                      LIMIT 1
                   ) as "com_files"
            from tickets
            INNER JOIN cats ON (tickets.tic_cat = cats.cat_id)
            INNER JOIN comments ON ( comments.tic_id = tickets.tic_id )
  group by tickets.tic_cat

and here is picture of result

Answer 1

It is possible to count the number of occurences in a string like this:

SELECT LENGTH( GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT tic_files SEPARATOR ",") ) - LENGTH( REPLACE( GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT tic_files SEPARATOR ",") , ',' , '' ) ) + 1 AS `TIC File Count`

This works by taking the total length of the column, then subtracting the length of the column after replacing all the characters you want to search for with an empty spaces.

So 56a4sdasd.txt,jkasd5ass.jpg will become 56a4sdasd.txtjkasd5ass.jpg, and the returned value will be 1. You just need to add 1 and you will have the total number of strings around the delimiters.
