Joint 3 table mysql error [duplicate] - mysql

Question

I have three tables named
**Student Table**
-------------
id name
-------------
1 ali
2 ahmed
3 john
4 king
**Course Table**
-------------
id name
-------------
1 physic
2 maths
3 computer
4 chemistry
**Bridge**
-------------
sid cid
-------------
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
2 1
2 2
3 3
3 4
4 1
4 2
Now to show the student name with the course name which he had studied like,
**Result**
---------------------------
Student Course
---------------------------
ahmed physic
ahmed maths
ahmed computer
ahmed chemistry
ali physic
ali maths
john computer
john chemistry
king physic
king maths
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:
**employee**
-------------------
id name
-------------------
1 ali
2 king
3 mak
4 sam
5 jon
**manage**
--------------
mid eid
--------------
1 2
1 3
3 4
4 5
And wants to get this result:
**result**
--------------------
Manager Staff
--------------------
ali king
ali mak
mak sam
sam jon

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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!!!

Answer 6

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`

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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).

Query for three table join and limit set
SELECT * FROM (SELECT t1.follower_userid, t2.*, t3.login_thumb, t3.login_name,
t3.bio, t3.account_status, t3.gender
FROM videos t2
LEFT JOIN follower t1
ON t1.follower_userid = t2.user_id
LEFT JOIN videos_user t3
ON t1.follower_userid = t3.login_userid
WHERE t1.following_userid='$userid'
LIMIT $startpoint , $limit) AS ID
ORDER BY ID DESC

Answer 10

Query to join more than two tables:
SELECT ops.field_id, ops.option_id, ops.label
FROM engine4_user_fields_maps AS map
JOIN engine4_user_fields_meta AS meta ON map.`child_id` = meta.field_id
JOIN engine4_user_fields_options AS ops ON map.child_id = ops.field_id
WHERE map.option_id =39 AND meta.type LIKE 'outcomeresult' LIMIT 0 , 30

Answer 11

Use this:
SELECT s.name AS Student, c.name AS Course
FROM student s
LEFT JOIN (bridge b CROSS JOIN course c)
ON (s.id = b.sid AND b.cid = c.id);
