consulta para devolver una sola fila con los varios elementos en columnas separadas dentro de la fila

Question

Tengo una situación en la que vuelvo resultados con varias filas. Estoy buscando una manera de devolver una sola fila, con los varios elementos en columnas separadas dentro de la fila. Mi consulta inicial:

SELECT a.name, a.city, a.address, a.abbrv, b.urltype, b.url 
FROM jos__universityTBL as a 
LEFT JOIN jos__university_urlTBL as b on b.universityID = a.ID 
WHERE a.stateVAL = 'CA'

Mi salida:

Realmente estoy tratando de obtener algo como:

                                 |<<the concated urltype-url >>|
ucs  |  losangeles   |  usc.edu  |  1-u1 |  2-u2 |  3-u2   |

GROUP_CONCAT :

SELECT a.name, a.city, a.address, a.abbrv, b.urltype, 
    group_concat(b.url SEPARATOR ' ')
FROM jos__universityTBL as a 
LEFT JOIN jos__university_urlTBL as b on b.universityID = a.ID 
WHERE a.stateVAL = 'CA'
GROUP BY a.name, a.city, a.address, a.abbrv, b.urltype

columnas dinámicas Generación es difícil en SQL; si es posible, ver si se puede mover a la parte del cliente. Si no es así, se puede añadir un número de fila en una subconsulta, y dar a cada número de la fila su propio Colum. He aquí un ejemplo con un poco diferentes tablas:

drop table if exists Universities;
drop table if exists Urls;
create table Universities (
  id int auto_increment primary key
, Name varchar(50)
);
create table Urls (
  id int auto_increment primary key
, UniversityId int
, Url varchar(50)
);
insert into Universities (name) values ('USC'), ('SJSU');
insert into Urls (UniversityId, Url) values 
    (1,'http://a/'), (1,'http://b/'),
    (2,'http://c/'), (2,'http://d/'), (2,'http://e/');

SELECT
    Name
,   group_concat(case RowNr when 1 then Url end) as FirstCol
,   group_concat(case RowNr when 2 then Url end) as SecondCol
,   group_concat(case RowNr when 3 then Url end) as ThirdCol
FROM (
    SELECT 
        u.Name
    ,   l.Url
    ,   (@i := case when @LastUni = u.Name then @i + 1 else 1 end) as RowNr
    ,   @LastUni := u.name
    FROM Universities u
    JOIN Urls l ON u.id = l.UniversityId
    JOIN (SELECT @i := 0, @LastUni := '') init
) subquery
GROUP BY Name;
