Time and Date fields not synchronized with ID field


Data in my tables

    item
item_id  name
1        ball
2        cap
3        bat

    order
order_id  date         time
1         06/01/2013   15:12
2         12/01/2013   11:10
3         06/01/2013   23:10
4         23/01/2013   10:55

    orderform
order_id item_id quantity
1        1       2
1        3       4
2        1       1
3        2       3
3        1       2
3        3       1
4        1       2

At the moment I'm using following sql query:

 SELECT
  order_id, 
  group_concat(txt) AS txt,
  date,
  time
FROM (
    SELECT 
      orderform.order_id AS order_id,
      order.date AS date,
      order.time AS time,
      CONCAT(orderform.quantity, ' x ',item.name) AS txt
    FROM order orderform
    LEFT JOIN item ON orderform.item_id = item.item_id
) AS baseview
GROUP BY order_id

And I get this, date and time are not synchronized to id.

order_id  name                      date         time
1         2 x ball,4 x bat          06/01/2013   15:12
2         ball                      06/01/2013   23:10
3         3 x cap,2 x ball,bat      06/01/2013   15:12
4         2 x ball                  06/01/2013   15:12

It should look like this. Shall I do another sub select within this query just for time and date?. Thanks for help.

          order_id  name             date         time
1         2 x ball,4 x bat          06/01/2013   15:12
2         ball                      12/01/2013   11:10
3         3 x cap,2 x ball,bat      06/01/2013   23:10
4         2 x ball                  23/01/2013   10:55

Thanks for help.


Solution

  • Actually, you can get your desired result even without using a subquery.

    SELECT  a.order_ID,
            GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(b.quantity, ' x ',c.name) SEPARATOR ', ') ItemName,
            MAX(a.date) date,
            MAX(a.time) time
    FROM    `order` a
            INNER JOIN orderform b
                ON a.order_id  = b.order_id 
            INNER JOIN item c
                ON b.item_id = c.item_id 
    GROUP   BY a.order_ID
