I have two tables and a ration table in between.
Brands
------
id, name, img
Country
-------
id, name
Each country can have different brands. Likewise, a brand can be in different countries. A many-to-many relationship. That is why I have added a pivot table.
country_brands
--------------
country_id, brand_id
My goal: A SQL select that gives me all brands from country 1!
What I have already done:
I use this query: SELECT b.id, b.name FROM brands b inner JOIN country_brands cb ON cb.country_id = 1;
Problem: I get all the brands for country 1 but I have a lot of duplicates.
Question: What do I have to change to get only one brand.id per country instead of all links?
UPDATE
One Solition from #Jens would to JOIN both tables (brands and countries).
And I wonder if you can't just do a Group By. I can't judge now which variant is more perfomant. Like that:
SELECT b.id, b.name FROM brands b inner JOIN country_brands cb ON cb.country_id = 1 GROUP BY b.name;
// I want / I expect
id, name
1 brand 1
2 brand 2
4 brand 4
// but I get:
1 brand 1
1 brand 1
1 brand 1
1 brand 1
...
2. brand 2
2 brand 2
..
4. brand 4
...
Thanks! Max
You have to join both tables:
SELECT b.id, b.name FROM brands b inner JOIN country_brands cb ON cb.brand_id = brands.id
JOIN Country c ON cb.country_id = c.id
where c.id=1;

I build following query
select s.name as Student, c.name as Course from student s, course c join bridge b on c.id = b.cid order by s.name
But it does not return the required result...
And what would be for normalized form, if I want to find who is manager over other:

Use ANSI syntax and it will be a lot more clear how you are joining the tables:
SELECT s.name as Student, c.name as Course
FROM student s
INNER JOIN bridge b ON s.id = b.sid
INNER JOIN course c ON b.cid = c.id
ORDER BY s.name
Simply use:
select s.name "Student", c.name "Course"
from student s, bridge b, course c
where b.sid = s.sid and b.cid = c.cid
For normalize form
select e1.name as 'Manager', e2.name as 'Staff'
from employee e1
left join manage m on m.mid = e1.id
left join employee e2 on m.eid = e2.id
SELECT *
FROM user u
JOIN user_clockits uc ON u.user_id=uc.user_id
JOIN clockits cl ON cl.clockits_id=uc.clockits_id
WHERE user_id = 158
Don't join like that. It's a really really bad practice!!! It will slow down the performance in fetching with massive data. For example, if there were 100 rows in each tables, database server have to fetch 100x100x100 = 1000000 times. It had to fetch for 1 million times. To overcome that problem, join the first two table that can fetch result in minimum possible matching(It's up to your database schema). Use that result in Subquery and then join it with the third table and fetch it. For the very first join --> 100x100= 10000 times and suppose we get 5 matching result. And then we join the third table with the result --> 5x100 = 500. Total fetch = 10000+500 = 10500 times only. And thus, the performance went up!!!
join query with three tables and we want two values from the same column we set the alias name for every table in the joins. Same table name also declare as a different names.
const sql = `select p.ID,p.purchaseamount,urs.name as
buyername,pd.productname,
pd.amount,urs1.name as sellername
from purchases p
left join products pd on p.productid=pd.ID
left join users urs on p.userid=urs.ID
left join users urs1 on pd.userid=urs1.ID`
SELECT
employees.id,
CONCAT(employees.f_name," ",employees.l_name) AS 'Full Name', genders.gender_name AS 'Sex',
depts.dept_name AS 'Team Name',
pay_grades.pay_grade_name AS 'Band',
designations.designation_name AS 'Role'
FROM employees
LEFT JOIN genders ON employees.gender_id = genders.id
LEFT JOIN depts ON employees.dept_id = depts.id
LEFT JOIN pay_grades ON employees.pay_grade_id = pay_grades.id
LEFT JOIN designations ON employees.designation_id = designations.id
ORDER BY employees.id;
You can JOIN multiple TABLES like this example above.
Just adding a point to previous answers that in MySQL we can either use
table_factor syntax
OR
joined_table syntax
mysql documentation
Table_factor example
SELECT prd.name, b.name
FROM products prd, buyers b
Joined Table example
SELECT prd.name, b.name
FROM products prd
left join buyers b on b.bid = prd.bid;
FYI: Please ignore the fact the the left join on the joined table example doesnot make much sense (in reality we would use some sort of join table to link buyer to the product table instead of saving buyerID in product table).

I have a products database which has a multi-tier category structure. Products are assigned to a category. The category table looks like this:
id name parent_id
================================
1 Electronics NULL
2 AV 1
3 Speakers 2
4 Wireless 3
What I want to do is, as part of my SELECT statement for products, output a concatenated string of the category tree.
The product is always assigned to the last category, so for example, Product "500w Wireless Speakers" would be assigned to category_id 4 (based on the above).
The ouputted column should be Electronics-AV-Speakers-Wireless.
Is this possible to do? I have looked at GROUP_CONCAT() but I'm having trouble working out the correct syntax.
Join as many times as you need, and concat the names:
select concat(a.name, '-', b.name, '-', c.name, '-', d.name) name
from mytable a
join mytable b on a.id = b.parent_id
join mytable c on b.id = c.parent_id
join mytable d on c.id = d.parent_id;
Suppose I have a Product table, and a
id product
1 Apple
2 Bag
3 Cat
4 Ducati
and a Cart table
id user_id product_id
1 1 2
2 1 3
3 2 1
4 3 1
So, I want to look at a particular user and see what he/she does NOT have in their Cart.
In other words, in the above example
SELECT ...... WHERE user_id=1 .....
would return Apple and Ducati because User 1 already has Bag and Cat.
(This may well duplicate another question but there are so many variations I couldn't find the exact match and put in these simple terms may help)
Perform a left join from product to all products purchased by user1, which can be retrieved with a subselect in the join. This will cause all product id's that are not in user1's care to have null product ids. The where clause will select all null product id's meaning they will not have been in a users cart, essentially filtering purchased items.
select p.name
from product p
left join (select product_id, user_id
from cart where user_id = 1)
c
on p.id = c.product_id
where c.product_id is null;
SQL Fiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/5318eb/17
Select
*
From Product p
Where p.id Not In
(
Select c.product_id
From Cart c
Where User ID = ____
)
SELECT product FROM product_table
WHERE product NOT IN
(SELECT product_id FROM cart_table WHERE user_id = 1);
This will give you all product for all users which are not in there cart.
select c.user_id,a.Product
from cart c Cross Join product a
left Join
cart b on b.product_id=a.id and c.user_id=b.user_Id
where b.product_id is null
group by c.user_id,a.Product

When I want to list actors in a movie program will retrieve actors ids from table 3 and find respective names from table 2 (using single query). When I want to list the movies of a actor it will retrieve movie ids from table 3 and find respective names from first table. Will it work properly? Any other ideas?
This will give all actors in a specified movie,
SELECT c.ID, c.actorName
FROM table1 a
INNER JOIN table3 b
ON a.ID = b.movieID
INNER JOIN table2 c
ON b.actorid = c.ID
WHERE a.ID = 1
This one will give all movies for a specified actor
SELECT a.*
FROM table1 a
INNER JOIN table3 b
ON a.ID = b.movieID
INNER JOIN table2 c
ON b.actorid = c.ID
WHERE c.ID = 1
SQLFiddle Demo (both queries)

Visual Representation of SQL Joins
UPDATE 1
This is called Relational Division
SELECT a.ID, a.Movie_Name
FROM table1 a
INNER JOIN table3 b
ON a.ID = b.movieID
INNER JOIN table2 c
ON b.actorid = c.ID
WHERE c.ID IN (1, 2, 3)
GROUP BY a.ID, a.Movie_Name
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT c.ID) = 3
SQL of Relational Division
I suggest that you modify table3 by taking away the id field. Use the movieid and actorid together as your primary key. You might want to add other fields to this table such as name of character and order of appearance as suggested in the comment by Jermaine Xu.
