ja_blackburn Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have 3 tables in the following structure: Table: main_event Field: user_id Field: main_event_id [PK] Table: sub_event Field: main_event_id Field: sub_event_id [PK] Table: sub_event_entered Field: sub_event_entered_id [PK] Field: sub_event_id Field: race_no My aim is to perform the following query but I keep getting stuck linking the 3 tables together: SELECT sub_event_id, race_no FROM sub_event_entered WHERE user_id = $user_id What is the correct syntax of this statement linking the tables? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy_Funster Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 SELECT sub_event_entered.sub_event_id, sub_event_entered.race_no FROM sub_event_entered LEFT JOIN sub_event ON (sub_event_entered.subevent_id = sub_event.subevent_id) LEFT JOIN main_event ON (sub_event.main_event_id = main_event.main_event_id) WHERE main_event.user_id = $user_id JOIN is your best friend - take the time to learn it well.
