trying to combine rows
Im trying to write a query that finds duplicate names and then gives me data associated with them combining rows into a commas separated string. I know what I want, I just cant figure out how to get there. The database structure cant be changed so I have to figure out how to do it with a query.
select M.name, syncdate ,DUP.c, L.name as Label
from MACHINE as M
left join MACHINE_LABEL_JT as ML on ML.machine_id=M.ID
left join LABEL as L on L.ID=ML.label_id and not L.type = 'hidden'
left join (
/* get all duplicate names */
SELECT name,count(*) as c FROM ORG1.MACHINE
group by name
having c>1
) as DUP on DUP.name=M.Name
where c>1
group by name
This gives me
name1 1/1/2014 2 label1
name1 1/1/2014 2 label2
name1 1/9/2014 2 label1
name2 1/1/2014 3 label1
name2 1/9/2014 3 label1
name2 1/9/2014 3 label2
name2 1/9/2014 3 label4
name2 1/15/2014 3 label2
What I need to do is combine the labels for each unique name,syncdate into one comma delimited string. It needs to look like this:
name1 1/1/2014 2 label1,label2
name1 1/9/2014 2 label1
name2 1/1/2014 3 label1
name2 1/9/2014 3 label1,label2,label4
name2 1/15/2014 3 label2
Any help would be appreciated.
