Question

I have some tables in MySQL:

+---------+--------------+---------+    +---------+----------+
|             TABLE 1              |    |       TABLE 2      |
+---------+--------------+---------+    +---------+----------+
| id_user |  testnumber1 |   score |    | id_user | username |
+---------+--------------+---------+    +---------+----------+
|    1    |       1      |    90   |    |    1    |   aaa    |
|    1    |       2      |    80   |    |    2    |   bbb    |
|    1    |       3      |    70   |    |    3    |   ccc    |
|    2    |       1      |    60   |    +---------+----------+
|    2    |       2      |    66   |
|    2    |       3      |    77   |
|    3    |       1      |    90   |
|    3    |       2      |    80   |
|    3    |       3      |    70   |
+---------+--------------+---------+

Is it possible to get this:

+---------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|                      TABLE RESULT                    |
+---------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ 
| id_user |  testnumber1 |  testnumber2 |  testnumber3 |
+---------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    1    |      90      |      80      |      70      |
|    2    |      60      |      66      |      77      |
|    3    |      90      |      80      |      70      |
+---------+--------------+--------------+--------------+

?

What statement can I use to get this result?

What you need is to PIVOT the columns into rows. Unfortunately, MySQL has no PIVOT table operator. But you can use the CASE expression to do this, like so:

SELECT
  id_user,
  MAX(CASE WHEN  testnumber1 = 1 THEN score END) AS testnumber1,
  MAX(CASE WHEN  testnumber1 = 2 THEN score END) AS testnumber2,
  MAX(CASE WHEN  testnumber1 = 3 THEN score END) AS testnumber3
FROM Table
GROUP BY id_user;
