I'm running a mysql query that's returning an error. How do I fix it and include a comma delimited list in the subquery?
Query: SELECT n.type, n.title, FROM_UNIXTIME (n.created,'%Y-%m-%d') AS yearMonthDay, frb.body_value, (SELECT DISTINCT ttd.name as tag FROM taxonomy_term_data ttd LEFT JOIN field_revision_field_tags frft ON frft.field_tags_tid = ttd.tid WHERE frft.revision_id = n.vid) as tags FROM node n LEFT JOIN field_revision_body frb ON frb.revision_id = n.vid WHERE n.type != 'basic_page' AND n.type != 'quote' ORDER BY n.type ASC, n.created ASC;
Error: SQL Error [1242] [21000]: Subquery returns more than 1 row

The error occurs because the subquery in the SELECT clause returns more than one row, which is not allowed. To fix this, you can use the GROUP_CONCAT function to combine the resulting rows from the subquery into a single comma-separated value. Here's the modified query:
SELECT
n.type,
n.title,
FROM_UNIXTIME(n.created, '%Y-%m-%d') AS yearMonthDay,
frb.body_value,
(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ttd.name SEPARATOR ',') as tag FROM taxonomy_term_data ttd
LEFT JOIN field_revision_field_tags frft ON frft.field_tags_tid = ttd.tid
WHERE frft.revision_id = n.vid) as tags
FROM node n
LEFT JOIN field_revision_body frb ON frb.revision_id = n.vid
WHERE n.type != 'basic_page'
AND n.type != 'quote'
ORDER BY n.type ASC, n.created ASC;
This will return a comma-separated list of tags in the tags
column.
That fixed it. I had GROUP_CONCAT
in the wrong spot in my first attempt outside this request.
