post_info table contains many rows (many side) matching a single id. I'm having trouble returning more than one row in my output.
SELECT user.*, post.*, post_info.*, board.* FROM user
join post ON user.id = post.user_id
join post_info ON post.id = post_info.post_id
WHERE user.id = 26;
I'm also not sure how to write my board table into the query either.
user table:
post_info table:
post table:
This is how you write you board table into the query. Additional join was added to represent the board to post relationship.
SELECT user.*, post.*, post_info.*, board.* FROM user
join post ON user.id = post.user_id
join post_info ON post.id = post_info.post_id
join board ON board.id = post.board_id
WHERE user.id = 26;
You forgot board table in joins
SELECT
board.id AS board_id,
post_info.id AS info_id,
user.id AS user_id,
post_id AS post_id
FROM post
LEFT JOIN post_info ON
post_info.post_id=post.id
LEFT JOIN user ON
user.id=post.user_id
LEFT JOIN board ON
board.id=post.board_id
WHERE user.id = 26

So I have a webpage that shows an image and information about it, and I also have three tables.
IMAGES USERS COMMENTS
id user_id id
user_id username user_id
username password comment
title isadmin date
image (location) points
description signup_date
points email
category city
bio
profile_image
I need to use all the information from the images and comments table. But I also need to retrieve the profile_image of the user that posted the comment and image. I cannot figure out how to do this: here is what I have so far.
$conn = new PDO ("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=project", "root", "pass");
$stmt = $conn->prepare("
SELECT images.*, users.profile_image, comments.*
FROM (images.id JOIN comments ON images.id = comments.id)
LEFT JOIN users
ON images.user_id = user.profile_image
");
Am I close? or trying the impossible here!?
it's a lot simpler then you'd think :)
the tables are NOT unrelated, they all have the same key - user_id and that's how you join them.
your query should look like this:
SELECT images.*, users.profile_image, comments.*
FROM images
JOIN users ON images.user_id = users.user_id
JOIN comments ON comments.user_id = users.user_id AND images.id = comments.id
this is assuming the images.id and comments.id match (I suspect they do not - but you did not give us enough info)
looking at your table structure, comments and images appear to have no connection, so maybe query them separately to avoid duplicated & confusing data
---UPDATE---
assuming you've added image_id to comments this is your query:
SELECT images.*, users.profile_image, comments.*
FROM images
LEFT JOIN users ON images.user_id = users.user_id
LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.user_id = users.user_id AND images.id = comments.image_id
what LEFT JOIN does is return 'images' that don't necessarily have 'users' or 'comments' connected to them.
I guess this will do the trick:
SELECT i.*, u.profile_image, c.*
FROM images i
LEFT JOIN comments c ON i.user_id = c.user_id
LEFT JOIN users u ON i.user_id = u.user_id
I think it's:
> SELECT images.*, users.profile_image, comments.*
> FROM images
> INNER JOIN users ON images.user_id= users.user_id
> INNER JOIN comments ON users.user_id= comments.user_id
I have SQL tables for users and relationships, like
users{ID, name, email}
relationships{ID, uid, relid, type}
I want to get all "friends" ID, name and email (by current user ID) by SQL, using JOIN or whatever.
If using join is it better to JOIN the table of users and select relationships or select relationships and join users?
something like this (I invented now, i use a bit diferrent tables and code, sorry for errors)
1:
SELECT DISTINCT u.ID, u.name, u.email FROM users u JOIN relationships r ON (r.uid = 1 OR r.relid = 1) AND r.type = 1 WHERE u.ID = r.uid OR u.ID = r.relid
2:
SELECT DISTINCT u.ID, u.name, u.email FROM relationships r JOIN users u ON r.uid = u.ID OR r.relid = u.ID = 1 WHERE r.uid = u.ID OR r.related = u.ID
Edit:
I use DISTINCT becouse when I select users whoose IDs equals to r.uid or r.related, I also get the current user (uid + related) for every relation. DISTINCT should unique the users? I'm beginner and found this on stackoverflow.
So, is it better to select from users and join relations or select relations and join users?
BTW: I quite like the answer with UNION
You can union the users where user is in the uid and in the relid.
SELECT users.*
FROM users
INNER JOIN relationships AS rel
ON users.ID = rel.uid
WHERE users.ID = 500
UNION
SELECT users.*
FROM users
INNER JOIN relationships AS rel
ON users.ID = rel.relid
WHERE users.ID = 500
Not sure why you are using DISTINCT but it looks like you just want to select all the rows from the relationships table (the friends), and then join their details from the users table.
SELECT u.id, u.name, u.email
FROM relationships r
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.id = r.uid
WHERE r.uid = 12345
I have three tables in my database
1.Users (id,username)
2.Stories (id,user_id,content) here user_id is forigen key refers Users table id
3.Comments (id,user_id,story_id,comment) here user_id is forigen key refers Users table id and story_id is forigen key refers Stories table id
I need to get list of stories from Stories table with total number of comments on that post and username of the storie author
Here is my query for that
SELECT stories.id,stories.content,COUNT(stories.id) as totalcomment
FROM stories
JOIN comments
ON stories.id=comments.story_id GROUP BY stories.id
I will get the total comment of the each post ,but can't fetch the username of the storie author (ie username from Users table)
SELECT s.id,s.content,COUNT(c.story_id) as totalcomment, u.username
FROM stories s LEFT JOIN comments c ON (s.id=c.story_id)
LEFT JOIN users u ON (s.user_id = u.id)
GROUP BY s.id
Try this:
SELECT stories.id,stories.content,COUNT(stories.id) as totalcomment, Users.username
FROM stories, Users, comments
WHERE stories.id=comments.story_id
AND stories.user_id = Users.id
GROUP BY stories.id
Or with join:
SELECT stories.id,stories.content,COUNT(stories.id) as totalcomment, Users.username
FROM stories
JOIN comments ON stories.id=comments.story_id
JOIN users ON stories.user_id = Users.id
GROUP BY stories.id
Hope this works.
I have the following tables:
table name -----| table fields
books -------------| book_id, book_title
authors ---------- | author_id, author_name
books_authors - | author_id, book_id
users ------------- | user_id, user_name
comments -------- | comment_id, comment
comments_users | comment_id, user_id, book_id, date
I need to show the book title, its authors, and all the comments posted for this book (I need to show user name, date, comment).
I make do it with two different sql queries, but I don't know how to do it with just 1 query.
Here are the two queries:
SELECT * FROM books
INNER JOIN books_authors
ON books.book_id=books_authors.book_id
INNER JOIN authors
ON books_authors.author_id=authors.author_id
WHERE books.book_id=7
this one returns the name and authors of book with id=7.
SELECT `user_name`, `comment`, `date`
FROM comments_users
INNER JOIN comments ON comments_users.comment_id = comments.comment_id
INNER JOIN users ON comments_users.user_id = users.user_id
WHERE comments_users.book_id=7
this one returns the user name, comment, and the date the comment was posted.
Can anyone explain me how can I join them into one query? Thanks in advance
This arranged query should suffice, it will display results as you want :
SELECT books.book_title, authors.author_name, comments.comment FROM books
INNER JOIN books_authors
ON books.book_id=books_authors.book_id
INNER JOIN authors
ON books_authors.author_id=authors.author_id
LEFT JOIN comments_users ON comments_users.book_id = books.book_id
INNER JOIN comments ON comments_users.comment_id = comments.comment_id
INNER JOIN users ON comments_users.user_id = users.user_id
WHERE books.book_id=7
Can't you just JOIN all the tables from the two queries?
SELECT `books.book_id`, `books.book_title`, `comments_users.user_name`,
`comments_users.comment`, `comments_users.date`
FROM books
INNER JOIN books_authors ON books.book_id=books_authors.book_id
INNER JOIN authors ON books_authors.author_id=authors.author_id
INNER JOIN comments_users ON comments_users.book_id = books.book_id
INNER JOIN comments ON comments_users.comment_id = comments.comment_id
INNER JOIN users ON comments_users.user_id = users.user_id
WHERE books.book_id=7
Hope this is what you're trying to achieve.
I have two table users and album. In users table there is user_id primary key .In other table albums there are multiple rows with that user_id because every time when a user upload a new album it uploads with user_id as foreign key. I want to select only once the user_id with other table(album) ignore other result set.
How can I achieve this?
SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM users a
INNER JOIN album b
ON a.user_ID = b.user_ID
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT user_ID, MAX(photo_id) max_rec
FROM album
GROUP BY user_ID
) c ON b.user_ID = c.user_ID AND
b.photo_id = c.max_rec
SELECT album.* FROM album LEFT JOIN users ON user.id = album.id WHERE user.id = SOMEIDHERE
I believe this will work, your not giving me a whole lot of info to work with.
SELECT *
FROM ( SELECT u.*, a.*
FROM users AS u
INNER JOIN album AS a
ON u.user_ID = a.user_ID
ORDER BY a.created DESC) AS h
GROUP BY user_ID
ORDER BY b.created DESC -> ORDER BY whatever row you wish for. In this case the newest one is chosen.
