PHP SQL Adding Multiple Selects - php

I am using the Sql query below:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `venues`
LEFT JOIN `follows` USING (venue_id)
LEFT JOIN `stats` USING (venue_id, user_id)
WHERE follows.user_id = $userid");
The problem is that it's not showing some fields in the stats table.
So what I would thinking the problem might be (might be wrong), is that I need to select all the fields of that table?
If this is the case, is there a way of telling it to select * the fields for the 3 tables?
For example:
SELECT * FROM `venues`, SELECT * FROM `follows`, SELECT * FROM `stats` LEFT JOIN ....

use alias for each table then
select A., B., C.* from venues as A left join Follows as B.....

You can use alias for tables. Here's your request using those aliases:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT a.*, b.*, c.* FROM `venues` as b
LEFT JOIN `follows` as b USING (venue_id)
LEFT JOIN `stats` as c USING (venue_id, user_id)
WHERE follows.user_id = $userid");

Left JOIN query not displaying data

SELECT Name,Checktime
FROM Userinfo
LEFT JOIN Checkinout ON USERINFO.USERID = CHECKINOUT.USERID
WHERE Checktime >= #11/14/18 04:35:00 AM#;
The above query has to display all name from userinfo table but it only displays matching data with checkinout table.
In most databases, you would move the condition to the ON clause:
SELECT ui.Name, cio.Checktime
FROM Userinfo as ui LEFT JOIN
Checkinout as cio
ON ui.USERID = cio.USERID AND
cio.Checktime >= #11/14/18 04:35:00 AM#;
Alas, this standard syntax is not supported in MS Access. You can use a subquery instead:
SELECT ui.Name, cio.Checktime
FROM Userinfo as ui LEFT JOIN
(SELECT cio.*
FROM Checkinout as cio
WHERE cio.Checktime >= #11/14/18 04:35:00 AM#
) as cio
ON ui.USERID = cio.USERID ;
Your question title says LEFT JOIN not working but in your query, you are using RIGHT JOIN?
Just use LEFT JOIN in your query. It will list all users from USERINFO but only matching records from CHECKINOUT.
SELECT `Name`, `Checktime`
FROM `Userinfo`
LEFT JOIN `Checkinout` ON `USERINFO`.`USERID` = `CHECKINOUT`.`USERID`
Where `Checktime` >= #11/14/18 04:35:00 AM#;
You can set alias on each table
SELECT a.*,b.*
FROM Userinfo a
LEFT JOIN Checkinout b ON a.USERID = b.USERID
Where b.Checktime>=#11/14/18 04:35:00 AM#;
If you want to display all name from the userinfo and display the match data from the checkinout table you just need to change RIGHT JOIN to LEFT JOIN.
SELECT Checkinout.USERID, Userinfo.Name, Userinfo.Checktime,
FROM Userinfo
LEFT JOIN Checkinout ON USERINFO.USERID = CHECKINOUT.USERID
WHERE Checktime >= #11/14/18;
Try this one.

UNION SELECT tables with inner join and GET values with "ALIAS"

So I have 2 tables, Matches and Teams, what I want to do is get some values from the match and Inner join "Teams" to get the names of both teams and add them to a php array later on (getting it all in one sql)
Matches
- IDMatch
- IDLocalTeam
- IDVisitorTeam
- Time
- Half
- Stopped
Teams
- IDTeam
- name
What I have by now is
$query = "SELECT * FROM `Matches`
INNER JOIN `Teams` ON `Matches`.IDLocalTeam = `Teams`.IDTeam
UNION SELECT * FROM `Matches` INNER JOIN `Teams`
ON `Matches`.IDVisitorTeam = `Teams`.IDTeam
ORDER BY IDMatch DESC;";
If someone could help me it would be great! Thanks alot
Wouldn't it be easier to use INNER JOIN twice? It's definitely quicker way of doing joins anyway.
SELECT
*
FROM
`Matches` m
INNER JOIN `Teams` t1
ON m.IDLocalTeam = t1.IDTeam
INNER JOIN `Teams` t2
ON m.IDVisitorTeam = t2.IDTeam
ORDER BY
m.IDMatch DESC;
Also start using aliases instead of table names to identify fields in query, it will SQL much smaller.

MySQL join multiple tables error

I struggle to use join on multiple tables. When I try to do this:
SELECT `absences`.*, `employee`.*, `type`.*
FROM `absences`, `type`
LEFT JOIN `login`.`employee` ON `absences`.`employee_FK` = `employee`.`employee_ID`
I get this:
Unknown column 'absences.employee_FK' in 'on clause'
'absences.employee_FK' exists in my DB.
I want to display the user data and the type of the absence. How can I do that? I dont understand joins too well yet.
Looks like your just trying to join two tables, because you don't have a join condition for the type table in your query:
SELECT *
FROM absences
LEFT JOIN employee ON absences.employee_FK = employee.employee_ID
If you want to join to the type table too:
SELECT *
FROM absences
LEFT JOIN type ON absences.type_FK = type.type_ID
LEFT JOIN employee ON absences.employee_FK = employee.employee_ID
You have to select all the tables for using the JOIN condition.
The example goes like this:
SELECT `employee.*`, `absences.*`, `type.*`
FROM `employee`
JOIN `absences`
ON `employee`.`employee_ID` = `absences`.`employee_FK`
JOIN `type`
ON `absences`.`type_FK` = `type`.`type_ID`
JOIN `on_off`
ON `on_off`.`on_off_ID` = `employee`.`on_off_FK`;
You can modify the query as per your requirement.
You can work on the script below. Add Where clause at the end if necessary. Not tested...
SELECT * from absences a
inner join type t on (t.typeID = a.type_FK)
inner join employee e on (e.employee_ID = a.employee_FK)
This might be what you are looking for
select * from `absences` a
left outer join `employee` e on e.`employee_ID` on a.`employee_FK`
left outer join `type` t on t.`type_ID`=a.`type_FK`
left outer join `on_off` o on o.`on_off_ID`=e.`on_off_FK`
You have to use join for all tables:
SELECT `absences`.*, `employee`.*, `type`.*
FROM `absences`
JOIN `type` on `absences`.`type_fk` = `type`.`type_ID`
LEFT JOIN `login`.`employee` ON `absences`.`employee_FK` = `employee`.`employee_ID`

PHP SQL output issue adding a third table to a query

I am currently using this script below.
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `venues` as table1
LEFT JOIN `follows` as table2 on table1.venue_id = table2.venue_id
WHERE table2.user_id = $userid");
The tables have these fields:
Table1:
id, venue_id, user_id...
Table2:
id, venue_id, user_id...
The query above returns 5 records.
Now....
I need to add a third table to the above script Table3
Table 3 fields also contains id, venue_id, user_id... BUT I don't what it in the WHERE of the script.
I've tried adding a LEFT JOIN to the script above to add the third table like this:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `venues` as table1
LEFT JOIN `follows` as table2 on table1.venue_id = table2.venue_id
LEFT JOIN `stats` as table3 on table1.venue_id = table3.venue_id
WHERE table2.user_id = $userid");
The Stats table only contains 1 record.
Now, my problem is that the query above it's echoing the data on ALL the records and not just the one.
My question is...What I'm I doing wrong on the line I added:
LEFT JOIN stats as table3 on table1.venue_id = table3.venue_id ?
OK, I think you want to also join on the user_id. So
SELECT
*
FROM
`venues` AS table1
LEFT JOIN `follows` AS table2 USING (venue_id)
LEFT JOIN `stats` AS table3 USING (venue_id, user_id)
WHERE
table2.user_id = $userid
is my solution
If you only want to include record from table1 that have non null records in table3 then you need to use INNER JOIN and not a LEFT JOIN. See the MySQL documentation for JOIN
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `venues` as table1
LEFT JOIN `follows` as table2 on table1.venue_id = table2.venue_id
INNER JOIN `stats` as table3 on table1.venue_id = table3.venue_id
WHERE table2.user_id = $userid");
The "INNER" is not needed explicitly. Joins are INNER joins by default
You're not limiting the records at all. Use this instead:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `venues` as table1
LEFT JOIN `follows` as table2 on table1.venue_id = table2.venue_id
LEFT JOIN `stats` as table3 on table1.venue_id = table3.venue_id
WHERE table2.user_id = $userid AND table3.venue_id IS NOT NULL");
You can use an INNER JOIN rather than an LEFT JOIN. See this SO post to make it clear or this blog article

Join but return ALL records from Table

I have the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM `table1` INNER JOIN `table2` ON table1.messageid=table2.messageid WHERE `venue_active` = 1
The above works fine but it only returns fields where both tables have a messageid field.
My problem is that I need it to return ALL fields from Table1 reguardless if it has a messageid match in table2 or not.
So, in other words I need ALL records to be returned from Table1 and all records from Table2 where there's a messageid that matches both.
How can I do this?
Use a LEFT JOIN rather
SELECT *
FROM `table1` LEFT JOIN
`table2` ON table1.messageid=table2.messageid
WHERE `venue_active` = 1
That said, it will only work if venue_active is also part of table1, and not table2.
Have a look at the different scenarios
SQL Fiddle DEMO
Use a LEFT join rather than INNER
For example:
SELECT * FROM `table1`
LEFT JOIN `table2` ON table1.messageid=table2.messageid
WHERE `venue_active` = 1
Either you need a LEFT JOIN instead, or
a FULL OUTER JOIN workaround for MySQL:
SELECT
a.*,
b.*
FROM
table1 a
LEFT JOIN
table2 b ON a.messageid = b.messageid
WHERE a.venue_active = 1
UNION
SELECT
a.*,
b.*
FROM
table1 a
RIGHT JOIN
table2 b ON a.messageid = b.messageid;
WHERE a.venue_active = 1
