I have come up with two queries, both use an inner join on two different tables.
Query 1
SELECT PRODUCTS.CODE, PRODUCTS.REFERENCE, PRODUCTS.TAXCAT, PRODUCTS.DISPLAY,PRODUCTS.NAME, PRODUCTS.PRICEBUY, PRODUCTS.PRICESELL, CATEGORIES.NAME AS CATEGORY
FROM PRODUCTS INNER JOIN CATEGORIES ON PRODUCTS.CATEGORY = CATEGORIES.ID;
Query 2
SELECT PRODUCTS.CODE, PRODUCTS.REFERENCE, PRODUCTS.TAXCAT, PRODUCTS.DISPLAY,PRODUCTS.NAME, PRODUCTS.PRICEBUY, PRODUCTS.PRICESELL,STOCKCURRENT.UNITS AS UNIT FROM PRODUCTS INNER JOIN STOCKCURRENT ON STOCKCURRENT.PRODUCT = PRODUCTS.ID;
Both queries run fine on their own, when I try to use both inner joins together I get errors. This is what I came up with on my own. I'm having trouble understanding the syntax to achieve this.
SELECT PRODUCTS.CODE, PRODUCTS.REFERENCE, PRODUCTS.TAXCAT,
PRODUCTS.DISPLAY,PRODUCTS.NAME, PRODUCTS.PRICEBUY,
PRODUCTS.PRICESELL,STOCKCURRENT.UNITS AS UNIT FROM PRODUCTS INNER JOIN
STOCKCURRENT ON STOCKCURRENT.PRODUCT = PRODUCTS.ID, CATEGORIES.NAME AS
CATEGORY FROM PRODUCTS INNER JOIN CATEGORIES ON PRODUCTS.CATEGORY =
CATEGORIES.ID;
Thank you.
Your attempted query has several syntax problems. Assuming you just want to join together the three tables, you may try the following query:
SELECT
p.CODE,
p.REFERENCE,
p.TAXCAT,
p.DISPLAY,
p.NAME,
p.PRICEBUY,
p.PRICESELL,
s.UNITS AS UNIT,
c.NAME AS CATEGORY
FROM PRODUCTS p
INNER JOIN STOCKCURRENT s
ON s.PRODUCT = p.ID
INNER JOIN CATEGORIES c
ON p.CATEGORY = c.ID;
Note that I introduced table aliases here. These aliases can be used elsewhere in the query to avoid having to repeat the entire table name.
By the way, I can also see taking a union of your two original queries. But without expected output, it was not entirely clear what you want.

Running the following SELECT query gives unexpectedly two times the same record while there is only 1 product in the database. The are however multiple subcategories linked to the same category, but I still don't understand why this would give two results.
The ERD:
The full contents of the DB:
SELECT p.id AS productId, p.name AS productName FROM product p
INNER JOIN product_base AS pb ON pb.id = p.product_base_id
INNER JOIN product_category AS pc ON pc.id = pb.product_category_id
INNER JOIN product_subcategory AS psc ON psc.product_category_id = pc.id;
Returns:
Why is this product returned two times?
Appending WHERE psc.id = 2 will still give one product as a result, while the intention is that this product should only be found when psc.id = 1.
What am I missing here? Is there something wrong with the structure? How would I get all products that have a certain subcategory?
Would I need to store product_category_id and product_subcategory_id directly in product as well?
#barmar made me realize I am simply missing a direct FK from product to product_subcategory. Otherwise there is of course a missing link between the product and subcategory.
DISTINCT will filter out the duplicates.
SELECT DISTINCT p.id AS productId, p.name AS productName
FROM product p
INNER JOIN product_base AS pb ON pb.id = p.product_base_id
INNER JOIN product_category AS pc ON pc.id = pb.product_category_id
INNER JOIN product_subcategory AS psc ON psc.product_category_id = pc.id;
I have a query that joins 3 tables on product id, here is the code.
SELECT oc_product.product_id, oc_product.image, oc_product.price, oc_product_description.name
FROM oc_product
JOIN oc_product_description
ON oc_product.product_id = oc_product_description.product_id;
I get the product_id, image, price and description, but I need to take the category name too, the product is in a many to many relationships with category table. Looks like this.
[oc_product_to_category * pivot table][1]
And I need to take category name from this table.
[oc_category_description][2]

Thank you so much, I am very stuck with this!
PS: I want to take category name and join with my code with other columns.
You only need to append 2 more JOINs to your query:
Join oc_product → oc_product_to_category to link products with their categories
Then Join oc_product_to_category → oc_category_description to grab the
category details
This way you can include to your query whichever fields you need from any of the joined tables.
SELECT p.product_id, p.image, p.price, d.name, c.name, c.description
FROM oc_product AS p
JOIN oc_product_description AS d
ON p.product_id = d.product_id
JOIN oc_product_to_category AS pc
ON pc.product_id = p.product_id
JOIN oc_category_description AS c
ON c.category_id = pc.category_id;
As you noted, the use of aliases for the actual table names helps to simplify a bit both the SELECT and the JOIN-ON segments of the query.
I've created a quick example here to show the results.
I have the following tables in my database.I only listed the important columns which can be used for joining.
I need to get the following output
Currently I'm using two seperate queries for each COUNT value
For assigned licenses
select
products.id,products.name,COUNT(assigned_licenses.id)
from
deployment_users
inner join
assigned_licenses
on
deployment_users.id = assigned_licenses.deployment_user_id
inner join
products
on
assigned_licenses.id = products.id
and
deployment_users.customer_id = 10
group by
assigned_licenses.id
;
For total licenses
select
products.id,products.name,COUNT(total_licenses.id)
from
customers
inner join
total_licenses
on
customers.iccode = licenses.iccode
inner join
products
on
total_licenses.id = products.id
and
customers.id = 10
group by
total_licenses.id
;
Since there are more than a 1,000 products that need to be listed,I want to combine them into a single query.How can I do that?
Your specification leaves some room for interpretation (e.g. can a user have assigned licenses without total licenses? if yes my query will fail.) but I would go with this.
SELECT
products.id,
products.name,
Count(Distinct total_licenses.id) As CountTotalLicenses,
Count(Distinct assigned_liceses.deployment_users_id) As CountAssignedLicenses
FROM products
LEFT JOIN total_licenses ON total_licenses.products_id = products.id
LEFT JOIN customers ON customers.iccode = total_licenses.customers_iccode
LEFT JOIN assigned_licenses ON assigned_liceses.total_licenses_id = total_licenses.id
WHERE
customers.id = 10
GROUP BY
products.id,
products.name
For the future it would be awesome if you could paste code as code and not as an image. People cannot simple copy paste snippets of your code and have to type everything again...
Try joining Both of your query
SELECT * FROM (
(First Query) as assigned_licn
INNER JOIN
(Second Query) as total_licn
USING (id)
);
I have a table let's call it products with a list of Manufacturers and Products.
I have a second table let's call it Customer, Orders.
I can do a join to make a list of all the items from each manufacturer the customer ordered doing an Inner Join. Yet trying to do an Inner Join for the items they did not fails.
I tried an Inner Join with 'Orders.Product != Products.Product' but that only works where the Customer has one order. Once there is more than one order I get the same list I would have doing an Inner Join. Any thoughts? I'll try to make a SqlFiddle tonight but was hoping a quick description might help a MySql / Join expert who has done 'NOT Inner Join'before...
It is called an anti join, you can use left join with is null check:
select p.*
from products p
left join orders o on p.Product = o.Product
where o.product is null
The code below gives me Not unique table/alias: 'presentations'
I've read several articles about this and I'm pretty sure the solution is to use aliases for my tables. I just can't understand how I create aliases or where I should add them.
Could someone please try to explain it for me?
Thanks!
SELECT categories.name, categories.sub_name, parts.name
FROM categories
INNER JOIN presentations
ON categories.id=presentations.category
INNER JOIN presentations
ON parts.id=presentations.parts
WHERE presentations.id=5;
After table name or field name you can give alias name and you can use it.
SELECT C.name, C.sub_name, PT.name
FROM categories C
INNER JOIN presentations P
ON C.id=P.category
INNER JOIN parts PT
ON PT.id=P.parts
WHERE P.id=5;
In above example C,PT,P is alias name of categories,presentation,parts table respectively.
You are joining the same table 2 times and hence you need to provide the unique alias name. However looks like you are looking for parts table and hence need to join that table
SELECT
categories.name,
categories.sub_name,
parts.name
FROM categories
INNER JOIN presentations ON categories.id=presentations.category
INNER JOIN parts ON parts.id=presentations.parts
WHERE presentations.id=5;
For better readability you can always give some short alias name something as
select
c.name,
c.sub_name,
p.name as parts_name
from categories c
join presentations pr on pr.category = c.id
join parts p on p.id = pr.parts
where pr.id = 5
