Sono d'accordo con le altre risposte, che GROUP_CONCAT
insieme a PHP dividere i valori separati da virgola è probabilmente l'approccio migliore, tuttavia se per qualsiasi altro motivo avessi bisogno dell'output che hai suggerito tramite Pure SQL, suggerirei uno dei seguenti approcci.
SELECT t1.Name,
MIN(t1.Subject) AS Sub1,
MIN(t2.Subject) AS Sub2,
MIN(t3.Subject) AS Sub3,
MIN(t4.Subject) AS Sub4
FROM Students t1
LEFT JOIN Students T2
ON t1.Name = t2.Name
AND t2.Subject > t1.Subject
LEFT JOIN Students T3
ON t2.Name = t3.Name
AND t3.Subject > t2.Subject
LEFT JOIN Students T4
ON t3.Name = t4.Name
AND t4.Subject > t3.Subject
GROUP BY t1.Name;
2. Utilizzo di una funzione di tipo ROW_NUMBER per aggregare
SELECT Name,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 1,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub1,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 2,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub2,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 3,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub3,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 4,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub4
FROM ( SELECT Name,
Subject,
@r:= IF(@Name = Name, @r + 1, 1) AS RowNum,
@Name:= Name AS Name2
FROM Students,
(SELECT @Name:='') n,
(SELECT @r:= 0) r
ORDER BY Name, Sno
) t
GROUP BY Name
