Hi, You can try the following. Store the result of your query into a temporary table, say tp, with two columns tc (ticketID) and pname (pipelineName). Run the following query :
select concat("select @c:='';","select tc, (@c:=concat_ws("","",@c,pname)) as x, length(@c) from tp where tc=", tc," order by 3 desc limit 1;") from tp group by tc ; and store the result into another variable (say, sth). Execute the query in sth. You should get your results as the column x in the result set.
