Re: Query divides movie titles into different columns

If you want a new column for each instance of a key, you'll need to run a first query for such counts, compute how many columns are needed, then in a stored procedure, or a PHP function, programmatically generate the desired query.

And it'd be an odd query to read.

Better perhaps to use Group_Concat(), which was developed in MySQL for just such instances.
