GROUP_CONCAT with limit

Question

I have table with player-s in many-to-many relation with skill-s

The goal is to list the players and their \"top 3 skills\" with a single q

Answer 1

Increase GROUP_CONCAT function length using GLOBAL group_concat_max_len GROUP_CONCAT() maximum length is 1024 characters.
What you can do is to set the GLOBAL group_concat_max_len in mysql

SET GLOBAL group_concat_max_len = 1000000;

Try this and it will work for sure.
