MySQL query to return all items in a single row

For this, use GROUP_CONCAT(). Let us first create a table−

mysql> create table DemoTable1355     -> (     -> Location text     -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.57 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1355 values('E:'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1355 values('AllPrograms'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1355 values('ChatApplicationInJava'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.38 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1355 values('MainFolder'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1355; 

This will produce the following output −

+-----------------------+ | Location              | +-----------------------+ | E:                    | | AllPrograms           | | ChatApplicationInJava | | MainFolder            | +-----------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to return all items in one row −

mysql> select group_concat(Location separator '/') from DemoTable1355; 

This will produce the following output −

+-------------------------------------------------+ | group_concat(Location separator '/')            | +-------------------------------------------------+ | E:/AllPrograms/ChatApplicationInJava/MainFolder | +-------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
