Question

In this query, DISTINCT key word is not working. display duplicate subjects from subject table.. can anybody tell me where I have made mistake?

SELECT DISTINCT
  tutor_category_subject.subject_id,
  GROUP_CONCAT(subject.subjects SEPARATOR ', ') AS subjects  
FROM       tutor_category_subject
INNER JOIN subject ON tutor_category_subject.subject_id = subject.subject_id
WHERE tutor_category_subject.tutor_id = 3;

Answer 1

I think you need a group by statement:

SELECT tutor_category_subject.subject_id,
       GROUP_CONCAT(subject.subjects SEPARATOR ', ') AS subjects  
FROM tutor_category_subject INNER JOIN
     subject
     ON tutor_category_subject.subject_id = subject.subject_id
WHERE tutor_category_subject.tutor_id = 3
group by tutor_category_subject.subject_id
