Using the following query I have fetched results from wp_posts and wp_postmeta table.
SELECT a., b. FROM wp_posts a, wp_postmeta b WHERE a.ID = b.post_id AND a.post_status = 'publish' AND a.post_type='wpsc-product'
From the above result, I want to filter the results to one more stage
As you know wp_postmeta structure is like
meta_id | post_id | meta_key | meta_value
I want to make all the meta_key values of the result to column names and its corresponding value as its value.
For eg if the table is like:
Meta_id-----------post_id-----------meta_key-----------meta_value
1-----------------31--------------mk1----------------mv1
2-----------------31--------------mk2----------------mv2
3-----------------31--------------mk3----------------mv3
The expected result is:
Meta_id-----------post_id-----------mk1--------mk2---------mk3
1-----------------31-----------------mv1---------mv2---------mv3
Is this possible??? I want this along with my join query.
The formatting of question is not correct. Please forgive for that.
You can use CASE if there are limited meta_keys
SELECT a.*,b.Meta_id, b.post_id,
CASE WHEN b.meta_key ='mk1' THEN b.meta_value END `mk1`,
CASE WHEN b.meta_key ='mk2' THEN b.meta_value END `mk2`,
CASE WHEN b.meta_key ='mk3' THEN b.meta_value END `mk3`
FROM wp_posts a
JOIN wp_postmeta b ON( a.ID = b.post_id )
WHERE a.post_status = 'publish'
AND a.post_type='wpsc-product'
AND b.meta_key IN('mk1','mk2','mk3')
Edit for duplicates issue you can use JOINs
SELECT p.*,
a.Meta_id,
a.post_id,
a.meta_value mk1,
b.meta_value mk2,
c.meta_value mk3
FROM wp_posts p
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta a ON(p.ID =a.post_id)
JOIN wp_postmeta b USING(post_id) /* is equal to ON(b.post_id = a.post_id) */
JOIN wp_postmeta c USING(post_id)
WHERE a.meta_key = 'mk1'
AND b.meta_key = 'mk2'
AND c.meta_key='mk3'
SELECT Meta_id,post_id,
MAX(case when meta_key= 'mk1' then meta_value end) As mk1,
MAX(case when meta_key= 'mk2' then meta_value end) As mk2,
MAX(case when meta_key= 'mk3' then meta_value end) As mk3,
MAX(case when meta_key= 'mk4' then meta_value end) As mk4
FROM wp_postmeta
GROUP BY Meta_id,post_id
If meta_value column values are not fixed , then search for MySQL implemenation of PIVOT feature as found in SQL Server.
