How to concatenate all values of a single column in MySQL?
You can use group_concat() along with concat() to concatenate all values of a single column. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, FirstName varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.73 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Larry'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Chris'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Robert'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----+-----------+ | Id | FirstName | +----+-----------+ | 1 | John | | 2 | Larry | | 3 | Chris | | 4 | Robert | | 5 | David | +----+-----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to concatenate all values of a single column in MySQL.
mysql> select group_concat(concat('"', FirstName, '"')) AS FirstName from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------------------------------+ | FirstName | +-----------------------------------------+ | "John","Larry","Chris","Robert","David" | +-----------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.05 sec)
