组合SELECT Case语句中的行

Question

I have this query

SELECT questions.question_id, 
       questions.question, 
       questions.answer_id, 
       nlp_terms.word,
       ( CASE 
           WHEN answers.id = questions.answer_id THEN answers.answer 
         END ) AS answer, 
       ( CASE 
           WHEN answers.id != questions.answer_id THEN answers.answer 
         END ) AS incorrect_answer_1, 
       ( CASE 
           WHEN answers.id != questions.answer_id THEN answers.answer 
         END ) AS incorrect_answer_2 
FROM   questions 
       JOIN answers 
         ON answers.question_id = questions.question_id 
       JOIN nlp_terms 
         ON questions.question_id = nlp_terms.question_id
WHERE questions.question_id = '1'

This query outputs:

As you can see it is bringing in all the data I want, it's just that my CASE statements are taking a row of their own instead of being grouped.

I've numerous GROUP BY operations but cannot get it to be like my expected output:

╔═════════════╦═══════════════════════════════════════════╦═══════════╦═══════════╦════════╦════════════════════╦════════════════════╗
║ question_id ║                 question                  ║ answer_id ║   word    ║ answer ║ incorrect_answer_1 ║ incorrect_answer_2 ║

What am I missing to get my expected output?

Answer 1

I think this produces your desired results:

SELECT q.question_id, q.question, q.answer_id, t.word,
       MAX(CASE WHEN a.id = q.answer_id THEN a.answer 
           END) AS answer, 
       MAX(CASE WHEN a.id <> q.answer_id THEN a.answer 
           END) AS incorrect_answer_1, 
       MIN(CASE WHEN a.id <> q.answer_id THEN a.answer 
           END) AS incorrect_answer_2 
FROM questions q JOIN
     answers a
     ON a.question_id = q.question_id JOIN
     nlp_terms t
     ON q.question_id = t.question_id
WHERE q.question_id = 1
GROUP BY q.question_id, q.question, q.answer_id, t.word;

Answer 2

Have you tried "WHERE questions.question_id = '1' AND answer IS NOT NULL"
