Question

say for example i have a tables called table1 and table2;

table1{q_id,q_text,date},
table2{a_id,q_id,a_text}

I run a join query on both tables like this:

SELECT *
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.q_id = table2.q_id

i would get data like this

q_id     q_text    date   a_id   q_id   a_text
 1      sometext    ..     13      1    someanswer  
 1      sometext2   ..     67      1    someanswet2

because thier will be a one to many relationship between the two tables
thier could be a lot of a_ids for one q_id
i wanted to make a query to put all the a_ids that have the same q_id into the same row.
if you get what i mean. so the both rows above have he same q_id so i want them to be in the same row. thanks

Answer 1

SELECT table1.q_id,table1.q_text,table1.date,table2.a_id,table2.a_text
    -> FROM table1
    -> LEFT JOIN table2
    -> ON table1.q_id = table2.q_id;
