SQLite GROUP_CONCAT from another table, multiple joins










0















Having trouble with my sql query. Not an SQL expert by any means.



SELECT
transactions.*,
categories.*,
GROUP_CONCAT(tags.tagName) as concatTags
FROM transactions
INNER JOIN categories
ON transactions.category = categories.categoryId
LEFT JOIN TransactionTagRelation AS ttr
ON transactions.transactionId = ttr.transactionId
LEFT JOIN tags
ON tags.tagId = ttr.tagId;



(There's also a where and group by, but didn't think it was relevant to the question).



I'm trying to get:



transactionId1, ...otherStuff..., "tagId1,tagId2,tagId3" 
transactionId2, ...otherStuff..., "tagId1,tagId3"


What I have now seems to merge the tags into one transaction or something. I tried adding a GROUP BY transactionID at the end, but it gives a syntax error for some reason. I have a feeling my joins are incorrect, but I wasn't able to get anything better.

          Do something like this:



          SELECT t.*, c.*,
          (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(tg.tagName)
          FROM TransactionTagRelation ttr JOIN
          Tags tg
          ON tg.tagId = ttr.tagId
          WHERE t.transactionId = ttr.transactionId
          ) as concatTags
          FROM transactions t JOIN
          categories c
          ON t.category = c.categoryId;


          This eliminates the GROUP BY in the outer query and allows you to use t.* and c.* in the SELECT.
