What Join To Use For Joining Three Tables In Mysql?
I have person Table which holds address key that points to "link-table" record which holds person ID and address table record ID. I want to get precise person and precise address so I thing that is disqualifying the LEFT and RIGHT joins. Remains the INNER join but I did not see it anywhere with more then two tables.
My creation: "SELECT t1.name, t2.* FROM persons AS t1, addresses AS t2, persons_addresses as t3 WHERE t3.id = t1.address AND t2.id = t3.address" does not work the way I want.(IT is basically left join [or not?]) Please, can any mysql-php GURU help me?
person id = persons_addresses.person
person ... field address
persons_addresses id = person.address
persons_addresses ... field address
addresses id = persons_addresses.address
Table address holds all relevant info about the address like street, zip, city key, state and country. I can imagine the use of subselect if mySQL had one, but I can not actually imagine without it [and probably is only very simple matter].

Joining Tables In MySQL
Is there any speed different between SELECT a.cow_id, a.name FROM cow a INNER JOIN farm b ON a.farm_id = b.farm_id WHERE [conditions] and SELECT a.cow_id, a.name FROM cow a, farm b WHERE a.farm_id = b.farm_id AND [conditions] in MySQL?

Mysql - Joining Two Tables
I've got 2 tables with an identical structure, but with different entries (products). Let's say, table1 contains: product A product C product E table2 contains: product B product D product F I need to select all products and sort the alphabetically. product A product B product C etc... I assume if would have to join those two tables somehow. I've taken a look at a "JOIN" statement, but it requires putting WHERE. I also can not export table1 one into table2 cause, they have some id's which can not be duplicated..

Joining Tables Generates Duplicate Records/Pairs

The same record �' is being displayed twice from table 1 along with the other two records from Table 2. The correct number of displayed records should be 3.

Mix Two Tables In A Single SELECT Statement - Not A Join
I have an Intranet with the organisation I work with. In this organisation there are two departments - community department and press office. Both the community department and press office have thier own news system where they can add news in their own admin section that will appear on their homepages. Both admin section have their own DB table thus two seperate tables. I would like to select all the rows from both tables in a single SELECT statement so when I output them they will be integrated. This is not the same as a table join as their are no keys and I want the rows from both to remain seperate. Can this be done? Could someone please post an example SQL statement demonstrating this if so?

2 Tables Left Join Or Seperate Queries
I have one table with company data. I have another table with documents. Often multiple per company. Im not sure how to best query both tables. If i do a left join i get Company 1 - Document 1 Company 1 - Document 2 Company 1 - Document 3 Company 2 - Document 1 Company 2 - Document 2 Company 2 - Document 3 Suppose i could read that out ok with a nice php loop which looks if the company changes, but that might not be the best option another approach would be to first get all companies Company 1 Company 2 and then with another query get all documents. What do you think is the best approach and is there any third option i didn't consider?

A Mysql Join
I am trying to write a script whereby I can pull an image out of one database table and display it in relation to its category_id in another table. I am using a my_sql join function that is joining the tables correctly, however it only shows the one same image from the top field of those combined rows on every single page. I need it display the image according to its category_id for that particular page. I am thinking I need to set variables to represent those specific rows but I'm not sure how to do that. Here is my code { $result = mysql_query("SELECT placing_item_bid.category_id , category_master.icon_1 FROM school_auction.category_master , school_auction.placing_item_bid WHERE placing_item_bid.category_id=category_master.category_id and category_master.icon_1=category_master.icon_1"); $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ); ..........

MySQL Join Question
Can't seem to figure this out. I have a MySQL query where I have Table A joined to Table B. Now, I need the rows from A more than I do B, put another way, I need the rows from Table A no matter what happens getting rows from Table B. Again, put another way, no matter whether a record doesn't exist in B, does exist in B but doesn't meet the WHERE criteria, or anything at all, I need the records from A no matter what. I have tried using LEFT JOIN and LEFT OUTER JOIN but they both don't work when records exist in B but don't meet the where criteria, therefore the JOIN fails and I lose the record from A. Is there anyway to get the JOIN I need in one query or will I need to use more than one?

Best Way To Show A Mysql Join

The one way to do it is : select id from students where name="John" and grab the id. then select * from studentslessons where studentid=id; the other is select * from students,studentslessons where students.name="john" AND students.id=studentslessons.studentid Which is more efficient when using php4 and mysql 4.1?
