I am following this tutorial on my installed version of MySQL, but it's throwing me an error:
SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
CONCAT(
'MAX(IF(property_name = ''',
property_name,
''', value, NULL)) AS ',
property_name
)
) INTO @sql
FROM
properties;
SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT item_id, ', @sql, ' FROM properties GROUP BY item_id');
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
I am pasting it on SQL editor in phpMyAdmin.
I followed the suggestion. No errors shown but here's the result:
SELECT item_id
,MAX(IF(property_name = 'color', value, NULL)) AS color
,MAX(IF(property_name = 'size', value, NULL)) AS size
,MAX(IF(property_name = 'weight', value, NULL)) AS weight
FROM properties GROUP BY item_id

If you have access to a MySQL command-line, I think you'll find your SQL code is fine (as long as @sql doesn't equal NULL) and the issue is with phpMyAdmin. Another idea is to wrap the code in a stored procedure and then CALL the procedure.
