Question

I want to format SQL results, then export to CSV (phpMyAdmin export).

SQL statement:

SELECT
product.name,
features.text
FROM products as product, product_features as features
WHERE
features.product_id=products.id LIMIT 0,100

Tables strucutre:

Table products:

------------
id | name
------------
24   Baseball
25   Rope

Table product_features:

--------------------------
id | text      | product_id
--------------------------
45   Leather..   24
46   Hardball    24
47   Nylon       25
48   Black       25

Problem: I get:

Baseball Leather
Baseball Hardball
Rope Nylon
Rope Black

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around what type of solution do with a SQL statement.

Result I’m Looking for:

Baseball, Leather..., Hardball
Basketball, Nylon, Black

Answer 1

You’ll need some type of aggregate:

SELECT product.name, GROUP_CONCAT(features.text)
FROM products JOIN product_features ON(products.id = product_features.product_id)
GROUP BY products.id;
