Selecting and displaying multiple Tables


theblt

Recommended Posts

Ok, I\'m trying to display info form many tables. 9 tables to be exact. And I can\'t get it to work at all. I put it all together and run it and nothing is echoed back. It only seems to work when I\'m only using 2 tables. Otherwise if it\'s 3 or more, it doesn\'t echo anything.

 

[php:1:f7a6cda346]<?php

//Connect to Database

mysql_pconnect(\"localhost\", \"user\", \"password\");

mysql_select_db(\"database\");

//Select Tables

$result = mysql_query(\"SELECT `aboutus`.*, `email_support`.*, `home`.*, `im_support`.*, `newsroom`.*, `page_options`.*, `portfolio`.*, `products`.*, `services`.* FROM aboutus, email_support, home, im_support, newsroom, page_options, portfolio, products, services \");

$r=mysql_fetch_array($result);

//Define Database Variables

$result = mysql_query(\"SELECT `aboutus`.*, `email_support`.*, `home`.*, `im_support`.*, `newsroom`.*, `page_options`.*, `portfolio`.*, `products`.*, `services`.* FROM aboutus, email_support, home, im_support, newsroom, page_options, portfolio, products, services \");

 

I suspect the query is timing out. When you select from several table without any JOIN conditions, you get a \'cartesian\' join which combines every record with every other record in every table.

 

So if you have only 10 records in each of your 9 tables you get 10^9 rows returned - 1,000,000,000.
