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

There is a much cleaner solution. Wrap it inside another SELECT statement.

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(id) FROM (
    SELECT DISTINCT id FROM people LIMIT 4
) AS ids;

/* Result 134756,134754,134751,134750 */
