Need help with a simple Join

Oi

Right to the problem.

SELECT *,t.id AS threadid FROM threads t 
LEFT JOIN players p on p.id = t.last_poster 
WHERE t.boardid = $boardid

I have two fields in threads called posterid and lastposterid. Which are the IDs of the threa开发者_如何转开发d starter / last poster. What I want to do is to get their names from players table.

But how?


You just need to join to your players table twice, like this.

SELECT
    threads.*,
    starterPlayer.*,
    lastPosterPlayer.*
FROM
    threads
LEFT OUTER JOIN
    players starterPlayer
ON
    starterPlayer.id = threads.posterid
LEFT OUTER JOIN
    players lastPosterPlayer
ON
    lastPosterPlayer.id = threads.lastposterid


You can join to the same table twice and give the table a different alias.

This presumes that there always will be a first and last poster, if this is the case then you want an INNER JOIN rather than a LEFT JOIN, you will need to change the select statement to get the relevant fields.

SELECT t.id AS threadid, playerFirst.name AS FirstPoster, playerLast.name as LastPoster 
FROM threads t
INNER JOIN
   players playerFirst ON playerFirst.id = t.posterid
INNER JOIN 
   players playerLast ON playerLast.id = t.lastposterid


How about...

SELECT *,
    (SELECT name
         FROM players
         WHERE players.id = threads.posterid) AS poster,
    (SELECT name
         FROM players
         WHERE players.id = threads.lastposterid) AS last_poster
    FROM threads;
