Pardon me, too early & not enough coffee, that's not quite the
'max-concat trick', but it oughtta work.

Right. The 'max-concat trick', 'Group column statistics in rows', might
be easier, eg...
SELECT
name,
MAX( IF(question=100,answer,'') ) AS Ans100,
MAX( IF(question=101,answer,'') ) AS Ans101,
MAX( IF(question=102,answer,'') ) AS Ans102,
MAX( IF(question=103,answer,'') ) AS Ans103,
MAX( IF(question=104,answer,'') ) AS And104
FROM tbl
GROUP BY name

mysql> select * from test;
+-------+-------------+--------+
| name | question_id | answer |
+-------+-------------+--------+
| Mark | 100 | Yes |
| Mark | 101 | No |
| Mark | 102 | Yes |
| Mark | 103 | No |
| Mark | 104 | Yes |
| Leigh | 101 | No |
| Leigh | 102 | Yes |
| Leigh | 103 | No |
| Leigh | 104 | Yes |
| Leigh | 100 | Yes |
+-------+-------------+--------+
10 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Adapting the query for my table like so:
select
t1.name,
answer as '100',
t2.101
from test as t1
inner join (
select name,answer as '101' from test where question_id='101'
)
as t2 on t1.name=t2.name and t1.question_id='100';
+-------+------+------+
| name | 100 | 101 |
+-------+------+------+
| Mark | Yes | No |
| Leigh | Yes | No |
+-------+------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Any clues to get the other questions and their answers into the table
greatly appreciated.
cheers

Subject: Re: Returning results as a field name
I have a simple table that outputs results like so:
select name, question_id, answer from table;
+-------+--------------+---------+
|NAME |QUESTION_ID |ANSWER |
+-------+--------------+---------+
|Mark |100 |Yes |
|Mark |101 |No |
|Leigh |100 |Yes |
|Leigh |101 |No |
+-------+--------------+---------+
Is there a way to query things so the result looks like this:
select ???
+--------+-----------+-----------+
|NAME |100 |101 |
+--------+-----------+-----------+
|Mark |Yes |No |
|Leigh |No |Yes |
+--------+-----------+-----------+
