Group by a field in my sql and concatinate another field values as one string












0














My table is something like that.



Location | Building | Department | 

L1 | B1 | D1
L2 | B2 | D2
L3 | B1 | D3


What I want to do is a query that counts locations and groups by buildings, but then display departments in that building as a string



Building | Count L | Departments | 

B1 | 2 | D1,D3
B2 | 1 | D2

          Select 
          Building,
          count(Location) as `Count L`,
          group_concat(Department) as Departments

            select building, Count(location) as 'Count L', GROUP_CONCAT(COALESCE(Departments,'')) 
            from yourtable
            group by building


            This will help with nulls also.

              Actually use backtick `` in mysql to escape that name column.. Not single quote.. :)

            • I thought the GROUP_CONCAT does not return the null values on its own. At least this is what I get from the documentation. "This function returns a string result with the concatenated non-NULL values from a group. It returns NULL if there are no non-NULL values " dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/…
