This is kind of achievable in Oracle in either sqlplus mode, or with the
use of analytical functions. Or in the worst case by writing a function.

But basically I have a few tables
Services, Hosts, service_names


And I can have a query something like 


select service_names.name as 'Service', hosts.name as 'Host'
from hosts, services, service_names 
where 
    hosts.host_id=services.host_id 
and service_names.servicename_id=services.servicename_id 
order by service_names.name

Which outputs something like

| SSH                                                 | mt-ns4          
|
| SSH                                                 | tsn-adm-core    
|
| SSH                                                 | tsn-juno        
|
| SSH                                                 | tsn-tsn2      

However, the desired output is one line per service name, so something
like

| SSH                                                 | mt-ns4,
tsn-adm-core, tsn-juno, tsn-tsn2 |


Can this be done w/o writing procedural code in mysql?

We are running ver5.

Thanks,
Andrey
