yes it is, but how do i correct the group_id values because it is the reason why i posted it in our forum @Barand

@Barand repeated values coming while fetching data from tables

finally i managed to fetch data from tables but the problem now is even after using distinct, groupby and having clauses the result is producing duplicate results its killing my brain @requinix can you point me where it is going wrong this is the updated query: select distinct g.* ,gp.*,up.*, u.uname,u.avatar,u.user_id from group_posts as g left join user as u on u.uname=g.author_gp left join

i see

and i'm sorry for being too sloppy.

@Barand but there are no ids matching the group between diferrent columns.

here is the EXPLAIN output: @requinix id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra 1 SIMPLE updates ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL 36 Using where; Using temporary; Using filesort 1 SIMPLE group_photos ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL 1 Using join buffer (flat, BNL join) 1 SIMPLE user ref PRIMARY,uname uname 52 const 1 Using where; Using index 1 SIMPLE group_posts eq_ref PRIMARY PRIMARY 4 project.user.user_id 1 Using where 1 SIMPLE friends ref friend_one friend_one 257 const 2 Using index condition; Using where 1 SIMPLE groups ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL 4 Using where; Using join buffer (flat, BNL join) 1 SIMPLE gmembers ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL 6 Using where; Using join buffer (incremental, BNL j

it produces no results just empty rows. how can i share data with you to trouble shoot the problem???? @requinix

here is my trimmed code for update select user.uname, friends.friend_one,friends.friend_two,updates.update_id,updates.update_body,updates.time,updates.title,updates.vote_up,updates.vote_down,updates.user_id_u,updates.account_name,updates.author, groups.name,groups.creator,groups.logo,group_photos.g_p_id,group_photos.avatar, group_photos.g_id, group_posts.gp_id,group_posts.pid,group_posts.author_gp,group_posts.type, group_posts.title, group_posts.data, group_posts.pdate,group_posts.vote_up, group_posts.vote_down, group_posts.user_id_g from user inner join friends on friends.friend_one=user.uname OR friends.friend_two=user.uname and accepted='1' inner join updates on updates.author=friends.friend_one and updates.author=friends.friend_two AND updates.author=user.uname inner join group_posts on group_posts.gp_id=user.user_id inner join gmembers on gmembers.mname=group_posts.author_gp inner join groups on groups.name=gmembers.gname inner join group_photos on group_posts.gname=groups.name and groups.name=group_posts.gname where user.uname='shan2batman'and groups.name="MEP news" order by time desc limit 10 i'll try to explain what i'm trying to do first i want to fetch friend_one and friend_two along with the session user uname value and fetch the results from updates table. second i'm trying to match the author names and group names stored in group_posts and fetch it along with the query.
