Question

there are 2 mysql table like this

table 1

–id—–config_name
–1—–OS
–2—–Control Panel
–3—–Bandwidth

table 2

id — config_id— config_Option_name — Price
1——–1————-Windows 2008——–20.00
2——–1————-CentOs 5—————-0.00
3——–2————-whm/cPanel———–30.00
4——–2————-Plesk——————-50.00

---

Now I want to show them like this, ONLY USING MYSQL.

1. OS

   Windows 2008 = 20.00

   CentOs 5 = 00.00

2. Control Panel

   whm/cPanel= 30.00

   Plesk = 50.00

IS THIS POSSIBLE? So now “os” or “control panel” are selected once although if we use group by or join it comes twice.

Using single SQL statement

Answer 1

Don’t use SQL to format output like this. You should do it on a client side.

Anyway here is a query to do it in SQL only (SQLFiddle demo):

select cfgN from
(
   select concat('\t',
                 CONFIG_OPTION_NAME,
                 '=',FORMAT(Price, 2) ) as cfgN, 
                 config_id,
                 t2.ID,
                 CONFIG_OPTION_NAME,
                 Price 
   from Table2 t2
   join Table1 t1 on (t2.config_id=t1.id)

   union all

   select concat(cast(id as char),
                 '. ',CONFIG_NAME) as cfgN, 
          id config_id,
          null ID,
          CONFIG_NAME, 
          null Price 
   from table1 

) t3 order by config_id,id
