the_924 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have a situation with two tables:CREATE TABLE `quiz`( id int (5) NOT NULL auto_increment, title varchar(100) NOT NULL, course_id INT(4) NOT NULL, question_first_id INT(6) NOT NULL, question_last_id INT(6) NOT NULL, question_list text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id));andCREATE TABLE `course`( id int (5) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(100) NOT NULL, description text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id));I'm trying to query the Quiz table and generate a table that would, ideally, look something like this:[table][tr][td][b]Quiz name [/b][/td] [td][b]Quiz course[/b][/td][/tr][tr][td]Lesson 1[/td][td]AP Euro History[/td][/tr][tr][td]Lesson 1[/td][td]AP US History[/td][/tr][tr][td]Fun quiz[/td][td] - NO COURSE! -[/td][/tr][/table]However, since I want the Course names, and not ID's, I need to "join" them together (I think); I want the query results to look like this:[table][tr][td][b]quiz.id [/b][/td] [td][b]quiz.name [/b][/td] [td][b]course.name [/b][/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]Lesson 1[/td][td]AP Euro History[/td][/tr][tr][td]2[/td][td]Lesson 1[/td][td]AP US History[/td][/tr][tr][td]2[/td][td]Fun quiz[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24142-joins-subqueries-confusion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_924 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Update:This is what I've gotten so far,[code]SELECT q.id, q.course_id, q.title, c.id, c.nameFROM ft_quiz q, ft_course cWHERE q.course_id = c.id[/code] But it leaves out the quizzes that aren't attatched to a course; still working on it :DEDIT:[table][tr][td][b]id [/b][/td][td][b]course_id [/b][/td][td][b]title [/b][/td][td][b]id [/b][/td][td][b]name [/b][/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]AP US Quiz[/td][td]1[/td][td]US History (AP)[/td][/tr][tr][td]2[/td][td]0[/td][td]Quiz - No Course[/td][td]1[/td][td]US History (AP)[/td][/tr][tr][td]2[/td][td]0[/td][td]Quiz - No Course[/td][td]2[/td][td]Euro History (AP)[/td][/tr][/table] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24142-joins-subqueries-confusion/#findComment-109820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 You need a LEFT JOIN:[code]SELECT q.id, q.course_id, q.title, c.id, c.nameFROM ft_quiz qLEFT JOIN ft_course c ON ( q.course_id = c.id )[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24142-joins-subqueries-confusion/#findComment-110100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
