Question

I have a two table first is simple primary key based table and second table is keyvaluepair for maintaining records.

Now I want to get records from Table in a single object. If they come as comma separate it’s good.

Suppose I have table

ID valueID.

When I will run select query I not want a list of rows. I want a single column (in a row) that I can get the information about all valueIds.

Could someone explain me how can I get them in one instead of list?

Answer 1

You probably want to use GROUP_CONCAT.

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(valueID) FROM table

If you need both the ID and the valueID, you’re better off sticking with an array.
