php - Mysql sorting concated values -


i have 3 mysql tables (animal, category , animal_2_category). every animal can have 0-n categories (for example fish, pet, insect, carnivore, "can fly", etc.).

table "animal" (id, name)

1, dog 2, cat 3, bee ...

table "categories" (id, name)

1, pet 2, insect 3, mammal 4, fish 5, can fly ...

table "animal_2_category" (animal_id, category_id)

1, 1 1, 3 2, 1 2, 3 3, 2 3, 5 ...

what need now, list of category combinations. following query works:

select concat_ws("-", x.name, c.name) animal_2_category a2c1      join animal_2_category a2c2 on a2c1.animal_id = a2c2.animal_id     join category c on c.id = a2c2.category_id´     join categories x group a2c2.category_id

this query wil return following:

  • pet-mammal
  • mammal-pet
  • insect-can fly

the problem is, dublicate entries "pet-mammal" , "mammal-pet". how can modify query, 1 of them, example:

  • pet-mammal
  • insect-can fly

you can rewrite query as

select  distinct greatest(concat_ws("-", x.name, c.name),concat_ws("-", c.name, x.name)) col animal_2_category a2c1      join animal_2_category a2c2 on a2c1.animal_id = a2c2.animal_id     join categories c on c.id = a2c2.`category_id`     join categories `x` on a2c1.category_id = x.id     x.name <> c.name
