Estoy de acuerdo con las otras respuestas, que GROUP_CONCAT
junto con PHP para dividir los valores separados por comas es probablemente el mejor enfoque, sin embargo, si por alguna otra razón necesitara el resultado que sugirió a través de Pure SQL, sugeriría uno de los siguientes enfoques.
SELECT t1.Name,
MIN(t1.Subject) AS Sub1,
MIN(t2.Subject) AS Sub2,
MIN(t3.Subject) AS Sub3,
MIN(t4.Subject) AS Sub4
FROM Students t1
LEFT JOIN Students T2
ON t1.Name = t2.Name
AND t2.Subject > t1.Subject
LEFT JOIN Students T3
ON t2.Name = t3.Name
AND t3.Subject > t2.Subject
LEFT JOIN Students T4
ON t3.Name = t4.Name
AND t4.Subject > t3.Subject
GROUP BY t1.Name;
2. Uso de una función de tipo ROW_NUMBER para agregar
SELECT Name,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 1,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub1,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 2,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub2,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 3,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub3,
MAX(IF(RowNum = 4,Subject, NULL)) AS Sub4
FROM ( SELECT Name,
Subject,
@r:= IF(@Name = Name, @r + 1, 1) AS RowNum,
@Name:= Name AS Name2
FROM Students,
(SELECT @Name:='') n,
(SELECT @r:= 0) r
ORDER BY Name, Sno
) t
GROUP BY Name
