I have the following query:
SELECT ev.q1, ev.comments, es.session_number, es.title, CONCAT( np.first_name, ' ', np.last_name ) AS speaker
FROM `expo_session_eval` ev
LEFT JOIN expo_session es ON es.session_id = ev.session_id
LEFT JOIN expo_session_speaker ess ON ess.session_id = ev.session_id
LEFT JOIN expo_speaker sp ON sp.speaker_id = ess.speaker_id
LEFT JOIN new_people np ON np.id = sp.people_id
GROUP BY CONCAT( np.first_name, ' ', np.last_name )
ORDER BY es.session_number
This returns data that looks like this:
session_id q1 comments session_number title speaker
===================================================================================
169 3 Good! 103 Digital Practices Steve Bullock
169 3 Good! 103 Digital Practices Sheila Bacon
170 1 104 LBS = Location Based Patrick Moorhead
This is correct in that there are two records in expo_session_eval for session_id 169, but it's incorrect in that the q1 and comments values are not identical. There are two records in expo_session_speaker that correspond to session_id 169 - ie there are two speakers for this one session.
Ideally, I'd like my results to look like this:
session_id q1 comments session_number title speaker
===============================================================================================
169 3 Good! 103 Digital Practices Steve Bullock, Sheila Bacon
169 5 Great! 103 Digital Practices Steve Bullock, Sheila Bacon
170 1 104 LBS = Location Based Patrick Moorhead
I've tried using GROUP_CONCAT, but apparently I'm not using it correctly, because when I use this query:
SELECT ev.session_id, ev.q1, ev.comments, es.session_number, es.title, GROUP_CONCAT( CONCAT( np.first_name, ' ', np.last_name ) ) AS speaker
FROM `expo_session_eval` ev
LEFT JOIN expo_session es ON es.session_id = ev.session_id
LEFT JOIN expo_session_speaker ess ON ess.session_id = ev.session_id
LEFT JOIN expo_speaker sp ON sp.speaker_id = ess.speaker_id
LEFT JOIN new_people np ON np.id = sp.people_id
ORDER BY es.session_number
I get this:
session_id q1 comments session_number title speaker
===============================================================================================
169 3 Good! 103 Digital Practices Steve Bullock,Sheila Bacon,Patrick Moorhead
What do I need to do to make the speaker column group_concat within the session_id?
EDITS FOR @NOAH
Main table is expo_session_eval - each record has a session_id stored. These IDs come from a table called expo_session. There's a cross-reference table called expo_session_speaker that contains only two columns - session_id and speaker_id. There's another table called speaker_id that contains speaker_id and people_id. people_id links the table to a table called new_people, which contains first_name and last_name.
In expo_session_speaker, there can be multiple records for a given session_id - each record corresponds to a single session and a single speaker. So to display ALL speakers for a given session, you end up with multiple records. That's where the group by/group_concat idea came in; I need to display ALL the speakers for a given session in ALL records for that session. Hence, session 169 record 1 speakers are Steve Bullock, Sheila Bacon, and session 169 record 2 speakers are the same, even though none of the other selected values will be the same for the two session 169 records.
(Clear as mud, right?)
You should group by session_id
(instead of ordering)
SELECT ev.session_id, ev.q1, ev.comments, es.session_number, es.title, GROUP_CONCAT( CONCAT( np.first_name, ' ', np.last_name ) ) AS speaker
FROM `expo_session_eval` ev
LEFT JOIN expo_session es ON es.session_id = ev.session_id
LEFT JOIN expo_session_speaker ess ON ess.session_id = ev.session_id
LEFT JOIN expo_speaker sp ON sp.speaker_id = ess.speaker_id
LEFT JOIN new_people np ON np.id = sp.people_id
GROUP BY ev.session_id
Something like this should do what you want -
SELECT ev.session_id, ev.q1, ev.comments, es.session_number, es.title, speaker
FROM `expo_session_eval` ev
LEFT JOIN expo_session es ON es.session_id = ev.session_id
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT ess.session_id, GROUP_CONCAT( CONCAT( np.first_name, ' ', np.last_name ) ) AS speaker
FROM new_people np
LEFT JOIN expo_speaker sp ON np.id = sp.people_id
LEFT JOIN expo_session_speaker ess ON sp.speaker_id = ess.speaker_id
GROUP BY ess.session_id
) np ON np.session_id = es.session_id
ORDER BY es.session_number
You don't actually want to use a GROUP BY statement on the entire result set, just to create a concatenated string of the speakers so it needs to be done in a subquery.
