28-Jul-2023Yes, you can concatenate multiple MySQL rows into one field using the
GROUP_CONCAT()
function. The syntax is as follows:SQL
For example, if you have a table called
products
with the columnsname
andprice
, you could use the following query to concatenate all product names into a single field:SQL
This would return a single field with a comma-separated list of all product names.
Here is an example of how to use the
GROUP_CONCAT()
function in MySQL:SQL
This will return the following result:
As you can see, the
GROUP_CONCAT()
function has concatenated all product names into a single field, separated by commas.Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using the
GROUP_CONCAT()
function:GROUP_CONCAT()
function only works with string columns.SEPARATOR
keyword to specify a different separator character than a comma.DISTINCT
keyword to remove duplicate values from the results.
