SQL - Joining columns from the same table in a Query
SOLVED ! See the answer bellow !
Before I explain my problem I want to apologise for those who would feel this question is too long but I feel like I must give some details to make things the clearer possible. Though, the problem is simple to understand it is not that simple to me to implement.
I have 3 tables.
Hata and Icon contains images I want to link with Succes which contains texts
[Hata]
id, INTEGER, AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY_KEY
hata Image
idLang, VARCHAR(5)
[Icon]
id, INTEGER, AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY_KEY
icon, IMAGE
idPhrase, INTEGER
[Succes]
id, INTEGER, AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY_KEY
idPhrase, INTEGER
titre, VARCHAR(25)
desc, VARCHAR(125)
idLang, VARCHAR(5)
Here is a sample showing how the Succes table looks like
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| id | idPhrase | titre | desc | idLang |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 1 | 1 | Hello | Desc in English | en-GB |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 2 | 1 | Salut | Desc in French | fr-FR |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 3 | 1 | 今日は | Desc in Japanese | ja-JP |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 4 | 2 | Goodbye | Desc in English | en-GB |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 5 | 2 | Au revoir | Desc in French | fr-FR |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 6 | 2 | またね | Desc in Japanese | ja-JP |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 7 | 3 | You're welcome | Desc in English | en-GB |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 8 | 3 | Je vous en prie | Desc in French | fr-FR |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
| 9 | 3 | どういたしまして | Desc in Japanese | ja-JP |
+----+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------+
...
The tables are now joined using this WHERE conditions
Icons.idPhrase = Succes.idPhrase AND Hata.idLang=Succes.idLang
Everything would be fine if there would be nothing specific in the Succes table.
In fact, for each Icon there are 3 sentences and the idPhrase links them but in the actual result set I somehow have redundancies.
Icon1|FlagIcon1|TitreLang1|DescLang1
Icon1|FlagIcon2|TitreLang2|DescLang2
Icon1|FlagIcon3|TitreLang3|DescLang3
Icon2|FlagIcon1|TitreLang1|DescLang1
Icon2|FlagIcon2|TitreLang2|DescLang2
Icon2|FlagIcon3|TitreLang3|DescLang3
...
What I'd like to achieve is the following (just the very first row):
Icon1|FlagIcon1|TitreLang1|DescLang1|FlagIcon2|TitreLang2|DescLang2|FlagIcon3|TitreLang3|DescLang
or
Icon1|FlagIcon1|FlagIcon2|FlagIcon3|TitreLang1|DescLang1|TitreLang2|DescLang2|TitreLang3|DescLang3
or even
Icon1|FlagIcon1|FlagIcon2|FlagIcon3|TitreLang1|TitreLang2|TitreLang3|DescLang1|DescLang2|DescLang3
In other words, it would be like I'd joined several queries together such as
SELECT icon FROM Icon
Joined with
SELECT Hata.hata AS fEN, Succes.titre AS tEN, Succes.desc AS dEN
FROM Hata, Succes
WHERE Hata.idLang=Succes.idLang AND Succes.idLang='en-GB'
Joined With
SELECT Hata.hata AS fFR, Succes.titre AS tFR, Succes.desc AS dFR
FROM Hata, Succes
WHERE Hata.idLang=Succes.idLang AND Succes.idLang='fr-FR'
And so on... Just the problem of ensuring the links between tables (icon 1 with sentence 1)
Here's another sample on how it should (may) look like
+-------+-------+-------+-------+----------------+------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------+------------------+
| icon | fEN | fFR | fJP | tEN | tFR | tJA | dEN | dFR | dJA |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+----------------+------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------+------------------+
| <img> | <img> | <img> | <img> | Hello | Salut | 今日は | Desc in English | Desc in French | Desc in Japanese |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+----------------+------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------+------------------+
| <img> | <img> | <img> | <img> | Goodbye | Au revoir | またね | Desc in English | Desc in French | Desc in Japanese |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+----------------+------------------+------------+-----------------+-开发者_JAVA百科---------------+------------------+
| <img> | <img> | <img> | <img> | You're welcome | Je vous en pries | どういたしまして | Desc in English | Desc in French | Desc in Japanese |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+----------------+------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------+------------------+

I've browsed for SQL reference to try many things but they don't seem to do what I expect (CONCATENATE, UNION, etc...) I also tried the following query but it gives me an error message.
SELECT Icon.icon, Hata.hata AS fEN,Hata.hata AS fFR,Hata.hata AS fJA
,'FR'.'titre', 'FR'.'desc'
,'JA'.'titre', 'JA'.'desc'
,'UK'.'titre', 'UK'.'desc'
FROM Hata, Icon
LEFT JOIN Succes AS FR ON 'FR'.'idLang' = 'Hata'.'idLang' AND 'FR'.'idLang' = 'fr-FR'
LEFT JOIN Succes AS JA ON 'JA'.'idLang' = 'Hata'.'idLang' AND 'FR'.'idLang' = 'ja-JP'
LEFT JOIN Succes AS UK ON 'UK'.'idLang' = 'Hata'.'idLang' AND 'FR'.'idLang' = 'en-GB'
the message is
Statut SQL: HY000
Error Code: 1000
syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting BETWEEN or IN or SQL_TOKEN_LIKE
but it seems my syntax is good according to sample I've found even on StackOverflow. I must also specify that I'm using OpenOffice Base and my purpose is publishing a document. Maybe there is something specific to OOo such as LEFT JOIN not implemented but the code get coloured so I think it should be fine.
Thank you for your availability and help.
I really don't get it. I've tried with MySQL and it does something like an exclusive join
mysql> SELECT titre AS tfr, titre AS ten, titre AS tjp FROM data WHERE idlang=1
-> UNION
-> SELECT null,titre AS ten, null FROM data WHERE idlang=2
-> UNION
-> SELECT null, null, titre as tjp FROM data WHERE idlang=3;
+------------------+------------------+------------------+
| tfr | ten | tjp |
+------------------+------------------+------------------+
| Salut | Salut | Salut |
| Au revoir | Au revoir | Au revoir |
| Je vous en pries | Je vous en pries | Je vous en pries |
| NULL | Hello | NULL |
| NULL | Goodbye | NULL |
| NULL | You're Welcome | NULL |
| NULL | NULL | Konnichiha |
| NULL | NULL | Mata ne |
| NULL | NULL | Douitashimashite |
+------------------+------------------+------------------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
If in the 1st SELECT I do titre AS tfr, null, null the column headers get to null.
mysql> SELECT titre AS tfr, titre AS ten, titre AS tjp FROM data WHERE idlang=1
-> UNION
-> SELECT null,titre AS ten, null FROM data WHERE idlang=2
-> UNION
-> SELECT null, null, titre as tjp FROM data WHERE idlang=3;
+------------------+------------------+------------------+
| tfr | NULL | NULL |
+------------------+------------------+------------------+
| Salut | NULL | NULL |
| Au revoir | NULL | NULL |
| Je vous en pries | NULL | NULL |
| NULL | Hello | NULL |
| NULL | Goodbye | NULL |
| NULL | You're Welcome | NULL |
| NULL | NULL | Konnichiha |
| NULL | NULL | Mata ne |
| NULL | NULL | Douitashimashite |
+------------------+------------------+------------------+
It still doesn't looks like the result I want.
I need to concentrate on that data table to get all in one line but I keep wondering how to achieve this. In principle it is very simple but I can't translate that in SQL.
mysql> DESCRIBE data;
+-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| id_phrase | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| titre | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | |
| desc | varchar(50) | YES | | NULL | |
| idicon | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| idlang | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Actually idicon is redundant with id_phrase (don't really need it so pretend it does not exist).
Thank you.
HERE ARE SOME PROPOSITIONS IF YOU WOULD MEET A RESEMBLING PROBLEM.
NB: The column names and table names may differ from the original question but the problem is the same.
I've been asking this question on another forum and here are 2 queries I tested and can certify are working with MySQL 5.5
Query 1 :
SELECT id_phrase
, idicon
, max(case idlang when 1 then titre end) AS tfr
, max(case idlang when 1 then DESC end) AS dfr
, max(case idlang when 2 then titre end) AS ten
, max(case idlang when 2 then DESC end) AS den
, max(case idlang when 3 then titre end) AS tjp
, max(case idlang when 3 then DESC end) AS djp
FROM DATA
WHERE idlang IN (1, 2, 3)
GROUP BY id_phrase, idicon
ORDER BY id_phrase ASC
Query 2 :
SELECT t1.id_phrase, t1.idicon, t1.titre AS tfr, t1.descr AS dfr, t2.titre AS ten, t2.descr AS den, t3.titre AS tjp, t3.descr AS djp
FROM DATA AS t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN DATA AS t2
ON t1.id_phrase=t2.id_phrase
LEFT OUTER JOIN DATA AS t3
ON t1.id_phrase=t3.id_phrase
WHERE t1.idlang=1 AND t2.idlang=2 AND t3.idlang=3
You're welcome if these queries may help you.
