My last post wasn't titled accurately. Sorry for the repost.
I have 3 tables. "Ticket" "Pipeline_Dept", and "Ticket_Matrix". Ticket_Matrix
matches tickets to pipeline depts. A ticket can be posted to multiple pipeline
depts. I want to select all tickets and the pipeline departments they are
posted to but only one row per ticket. So:
SELECT
t.ticketID,
p.pipelineName
FROM
Ticket t
LEFT JOIN Ticket_Matrix tm
ON t.ticketID = tm.ticketID
LEFT JOIN Pipeline_Dept p
ON p.pipelineID = tm.pipelineID
This is what I want:
+----------+--------------------------+
| ticketID | pipelineName |
+----------+--------------------------+
| 163 | IT, Adv.Tech, R&D |
| 164 | IT, R&D |
| 165 | Video, Multimedia |
| ... | ... |
+----------+--------------------------+
This is what I get now:
+----------+--------------------------+
| ticketID | pipelineName |
+----------+--------------------------+
| 163 | IT |
| 163 | Adv.Tech |
| 163 | R&D |
| 164 | IT |
| 164 | R&D |
| 165 | Video |
| 165 | Multimedia |
| ... | ... |
+----------+--------------------------+
I cannot do it with PHP because my query depends on LIMIT and returning a set
number of rows. If I use PHP to do the concat-ing, the number of rows may be <
LIMIT and that is undesirable.
I appreciate any help.
