Oh, wait. It is useless in the query as written, but now that I think
twice about what you're trying to accomplish, you do need three levels
of SELECT keywords. Just not like that. I think what you actually
want is
SELECT
...
(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(t.fname, '; ') FROM
(SELECT s2.fname FROM student AS s2
WHERE s2.id=s.id ORDER BY fname) AS t) AS students,
...
FROM
student AS s
What you wrote instead is just wrong --- it would fail if there were
multiple students with the same id (can that actually happen?
Maybe there's more wrong with this query...), because what you
wrote is a scalar sub-SELECT inside an aggregate call that belongs
to the outermost query.
