I want to query across two tables: members and payments.
One member record could join with many 开发者_运维技巧payments. However, I need each payment record to be added as an additional column as opposed to an additional row.
Here is a simplified example:
members
member_id | first_name | last_name
5 | John | Smith
payments
payment_id | member_id | pay_type | amount
1 | 5 | VISA | $20
2 | 5 | Mastercard | $40
3 | 5 | AMEX | $10
Desired query result
member_id | first_name | last_name | payment_id1 | pay_type1 | amount_1 | payment_id2 | pay_type2 | amount_2 | payment_id3 | pay_type3 | amount_3
5 | John | Smith | 1 | VISA | $20 | 2 | Mastercard | $40 | 3 | AMEX | $10
A single row as a result, creating columns for each row in the payments table. Thanks!
You can most likely achieve what you want using a pivot table: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MySQL/Pivot_table
