sql - Combine multiple inner joined rows into one row with multiple columns -


i have questions table , answers table has 4 8 answers connected 1 question. when want list of questions , answers, use following code:

select q.questionid, q.question, a.answer question q inner join answer on q.questionid=a.questionid; 

this gives me 1 row each answer question being repeated on each row. however, want 1 row per question answers in separate columns. if possible, i'd limit 4 answers. if there more 4, rest should ignored. not important.

the 4 answer columns named "correct", "wrong1", "wrong2" , "wrong3". first 1 in table (with lowest answerid) correct one.

thank help!

select q.questionid, q.question,     case <some field>    when <condition> a.answer    end correct,    case <some field2>    when <condition2> a.answer    end wrong1    ... question q inner join answer on q.questionid=a.questionid group q.questionid 

you can group question , define conditioned fields "correct", "wrong1", "wrong2" , "wrong3" columns
