    <p>I currently have two tables similar to <code>users</code> and <code>programs</code> that are linked through a many-to-many relationships by way of a <code>link</code> table.</p> <pre><code>mysql&gt; select * from users; +----+----------+ | id | name | +----+----------+ | 1 | Jonathan | | 2 | Little | | 3 | Annie | | 4 | Bob | +----+----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql&gt; select * from programs; +----+----------------------+ | id | name | +----+----------------------+ | 1 | Microsoft Word | | 2 | Microsoft Excel | | 3 | Microsoft PowerPoint | +----+----------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql&gt; select * from link; +---------+------------+ | user_id | program_id | +---------+------------+ | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 2 | | 1 | 3 | | 2 | 2 | | 3 | 1 | | 3 | 4 | +---------+------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec) </code></pre> <p>I understand how to join the tables and return a result of this sort:</p> <pre><code>mysql&gt; select users.name, programs.name from linker -&gt; join users on users.id = linker.user_id -&gt; join programs on programs.id = linker.program_id; +----------+----------------------+ | name | name | +----------+----------------------+ | Jonathan | Microsoft Word | | Jonathan | Microsoft Excel | | Jonathan | Microsoft PowerPoint | | Little | Microsoft Excel | | Annie | Microsoft Word | +----------+----------------------+ </code></pre> <p>But what I am really looking for is a little more complicated:</p> <pre><code>+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | name | name | +----------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | Jonathan | Microsoft Word,Microsoft Excel,Microsoft PowerPoint | | Little | Microsoft Excel | | Annie | Microsoft Word | +----------+-----------------------------------------------------+ </code></pre> <p>I assume there is a <code>GROUP_CONCAT()</code> thrown into the command somewhere, but I cannot seem to keep the results from looking like this:</p> <pre><code>mysql&gt; select users.name, group_concat(programs.name) from linker -&gt; join users on users.id = linker.user_id -&gt; join programs on programs.id = linker.program_id; +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | name | group_concat(programs.name) | +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jonathan | Microsoft Word,Microsoft Excel,Microsoft PowerPoint,Microsoft Excel,Microsoft Word | +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ </code></pre> <p>Can anybody point me in the right direction?</p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
