Subquery as another field - mysql

Question

I have trying to do a SELECT query....not an UPDATE or INSERT or DELETE.
I have three tables.
The customers table
The invoices table
The invoice_items table
I want to run a query that will show me every invoice. Each invoice can have only ONE customer and MANY items...hence the existence of invoice_items
My current query looks like this
SELECT i.order_date, c.name, thedata.info from invoices i inner join customers c ON (i.customer = c.id) right join ( select x.order, group_concat( concat(x.itemname,' ', x.itemdesc) separator "\n" ) as info from invoice_items x ) thedata on (i.id = thedata.order)
When I run this query, I receive one row that contains, one customer, one invoice, and a list of any an every item regardless of invoice id or customer...???
+---------------------+--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| order_date | name | info |
+---------------------+--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2014-01-23 20:39:20 | Joe Customer | Boxes for boxing
Shoes for shining
2" Hermosa Plank for bobblin
Boxes for boxing
bobbles for bobblin
Lot 297 Woodale Carmel Oak |
+---------------------+--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
My goal is to receive this same list but show all customers along with THEIR items.
What am I doing wrong?
Here are the schemas, for those that need them.

Answer 1

try the below query, you need to use GROUP BY if you use GROUP_CONCAT().
SELECT i.order_date,
c.name,
group_concat( concat(x.itemname,' ', x.itemdesc) separator "\n" ) as info
FROM invoices i
INNER JOIN customers c ON i.customer = c.id
LEFT JOIN invoice_items x ON i.id = x.order
GROUP BY i.order_date,c.name
