Simple SELECT/CONCAT query?

2002-09-17 Thread Claire Forchheimer


Hi,

I have a question on how to make a simple search...

I have two columns in a MySQLdb-table: item, price
 
I want to list all items with their prices. However, items with the same
price should be concatenated.

 
I've looked through the manual - but can't figure out how to concat
rows
 
This is the result I'm looking for:
 
ItemPrice
 --
Item 125
Item 2, Item 633
Item 335
etc
 
/claire

query problem with GROUP BY and ORDER BY

2002-06-01 Thread Claire Forchheimer

Hi all,

I have a table including two colums: names and apartment numbers:

apt #| name
--
1 | Smith Joe
1 | Smith Anne
2 | Doe Richard
3 | Svensen Mike
3 | Brant Liza

I need to get a list in alphabetical order, but with people in the same
apt keept together:

Brant, Svensen
Doe
Smith, Smith

The difficulty is to get people living in the same apt grouped together.

SELECT * FROM tbl GROUP BY apt ORDER BY name  - will drop the second
name
found in each apt!

(The result would be this list:
Brant
Doe
Smith)

I've been banging my head black and blue over this query! Can anyone
help??!?


Two more issues in addition to this query is:

I'm using a PHP statement to find only the lastname in the name field,
can
this be done already in the query??

A nice feature would be to only list one name if both lastnames are the
same in one apt. In other words the list would then look like:

Brant, Svensen
Doe
Smith

can  this be done???

Extracting fields from a table

2002-02-06 Thread Claire Forchheimer

I want to select all entries in my table that in a column with given
dates findes all dates   inbetween $from_date - $to_date. (These are
vars that the user supplies from the HTML-page). I don't know how to set
up the SELECT query. I tried the following way but it didn't work:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE (col=$from_date - col=$to_date)

What is the correct way?
