<div>
You're welcome.<br />
<br />
Glad I could help!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Lets say you have a table:<br />
Name &nbsp; City &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Date<br />
Bob &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Anytown &nbsp; 2017-03-15<br />
Bob &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Anytown &nbsp; 2017-03-21<br />
Jim &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sometown 2017-02-27<br />
John &nbsp; &nbsp;Mytown &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2017-03-06<br />
John &nbsp; &nbsp;Mytown &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2017-03-19<br />
John &nbsp; &nbsp;Mytown &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2017-03-25<br />
<br />
I need to query the table so that my results are as follows:<br />
Name &nbsp;City &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Dates<br />
Bob &nbsp; &nbsp; Anytown &nbsp; &nbsp;2017-03-15,2017-03-21<br />
Jim &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Sometown 2017-02-27<br />
John &nbsp; &nbsp;MyTown &nbsp; &nbsp; 2017-03-06,2017-03-19,2017<wbr />-03-25<br />
<br />
I guess I'm asking how can I (can I?) have the results of a single field query reported in a single row rather than multiple rows?<br />
<br />
Thoughts? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I know how I can use a programming language to manipulate this (VB/ASP for example), with looks, but I'm looking for a pure SQL way. &nbsp;IDEALLY MySQL way.

Concat multiple records into one line

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.

MySQL Server

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

MongoDB (from humongous) is a free and open-source cross-platform document-oriented database program. Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents with schemas. MongoDB is developed by MongoDB Inc. and is free and open-source, published under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License.
