How to select all data from all tables?

Question

I have a database table called stories. It only has one row---story.

How do I return all the stories in a, concatenated in a single string variable?

I thought it would be merely

$sql = mysql_query("select * from stories");

Incorrect?

Answer 1

You could use GROUP_CONCAT() :

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(story) FROM stories;

This will return a concatenated string with each story separated by an ',' character.

If you would like to remove the separator you can use the following syntax:

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(story SEPARATOR '') FROM stories;

Answer 2

Try this:

select GROUP_CONCAT(story_column) as stories  from stories

Here story_column is name of column where stories are saved in table.

It will give you all stories in a single string with concatenating.

SELECT CONCAT(`col1`, ' ', `col2`,' ',`col3`) FROM `table`
