GROUP_CONCAT
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The GROUP_CONCAT() aggregate function is the MySQL version of the standard SQL LISTAGG function, to concatenate aggregate data into a string. It supports being used with an ORDER BY clause, which uses the expected syntax, unlike LISTAGG(), which uses the WITHIN GROUP syntax.
SELECT group_concat(ID), group_concat(ID ORDER BY ID), group_concat(ID SEPARATOR '; '), group_concat(ID ORDER BY ID SEPARATOR '; '), FROM BOOK
create.select(
groupConcat(BOOK.ID),
groupConcat(BOOK.ID).orderBy(BOOK.ID),
groupConcat(BOOK.ID).separator("; "),
groupConcat(BOOK.ID).orderBy(BOOK.ID).separator("; "))
.from(BOOK).fetch();
Producing:
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ | group_concat | group_concat | group_concat | group_concat | +--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ | 1, 3, 4, 2 | 1, 2, 3, 4 | 1; 3; 4; 2 | 1; 2; 3; 4 | +--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
