How to use GROUP BY to concatenate strings in MySQL?

Basically the question is how to get from this:

foo_id   foo_name
1        A
1        B
2        C

to this:

foo_id   foo_name
1        A B
2        C
SELECT id, GROUP_CONCAT(name SEPARATOR ' ') FROM table GROUP BY id;

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/aggregate-functions.html#function_group-concat

From the link above, GROUP_CONCAT : This function returns a string result with the concatenated non-NULL values from a group. It returns NULL if there are no non-NULL values.

SELECT id, GROUP_CONCAT( string SEPARATOR ' ') FROM table GROUP BY id

SELECT id, GROUP_CONCAT(name SEPARATOR ' ') FROM table GROUP BY id;

:- In MySQL, you can get the concatenated values of expression combinations . To eliminate duplicate values, use the DISTINCT clause. To sort values in the result, use the ORDER BY clause. To sort in reverse order , add the DESC (descending) keyword to the name of the column you are sorting by in the ORDER BY clause. The default is ascending order; this may be specified explicitly using the ASC keyword. The default separator between values in a group is comma (“,”). To specify a separator explicitly, use SEPARATOR followed by the string literal value that should be inserted between group values. To eliminate the separator altogether, specify SEPARATOR '' .

GROUP_CONCAT([DISTINCT] expr [,expr ...]
             [ORDER BY {unsigned_integer | col_name | expr}
                 [ASC | DESC] [,col_name ...]]
             [SEPARATOR str_val])

OR

mysql> SELECT student_name,
    ->     GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT test_score
    ->               ORDER BY test_score DESC SEPARATOR ' ')
    ->     FROM student
    ->     GROUP BY student_name;
SELECT id, GROUP_CONCAT(CAST(name as CHAR)) FROM table GROUP BY id

会给你一个逗号分隔的字符串

The result is truncated to the maximum length that is given by the group_concat_max_len system variable, which has a default value of 1024 characters, so we first do:

SET group_concat_max_len=100000000;

and then, for example:

SELECT pub_id,GROUP_CONCAT(cate_id SEPARATOR ' ') FROM book_mast GROUP BY pub_id

Great answers. I also had a problem with NULLS and managed to solve it by including a COALESCE inside of the GROUP_CONCAT. Example as follows:

SELECT id, GROUP_CONCAT(COALESCE(name,'') SEPARATOR ' ') 
FROM table 
GROUP BY id;

Hope this helps someone else
