WHERE AND clause for the same column but different rows - mysql

Question

Prior Information Notice
I have 3 tables:
types
+----+-------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+
| id | category_id | name | created_at | updated_at |
+----+-------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | T-Shirts | NULL | NULL |
+----+-------------+-----------------------+------------+------------+
prototypes
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+
| id | name | created_at | updated_at |
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+
| 1 | Gildan Softstyle Adult Ringspun T-shirt | NULL | NULL |
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+
filters
+----+-------------+---------------------+-------+------------+------------+
| id | name | value | extra | created_at | updated_at |
+----+-------------+---------------------+-------+------------+------------+
| 1 | gender | male | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 2 | gender | female | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | age_group | adult | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | age_group | child | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | age_group | baby | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+----+-------------+---------------------+-------+------------+------------+
They are related one another through n-m relationship, so there are respective junction tables types_prototypes, types_filters, prototypes_filters as well. For more details please check also out my dump file.
Problem itself
I'm trying to set up filtering system (with Laravel), so I need to query all Prototypes that are related to all given Filters (logical AND). Until now I have managed to get the, as long as use chose only one Filter:
select * from `prototypes`
inner join `types_prototypes` on `prototypes`.`id` = `types_prototypes`.`prototype_id`
inner join `prototypes_filters` on `prototypes`.`id` = `prototypes_filters`.`prototype_id`
inner join `filters` on `prototypes_filters`.`filter_id` = `filters`.`id`
where `types_prototypes`.`type_id` = ? and `filter_id` = ? group by `prototypes`.`id`
The problem itself consists in the fact that this query is inapplicable, as soon as we have several filters that should be valid simultaneously:
...
where `types_prototypes`.`type_id` = ? and `filter_id` = ? and `filter_id` = ? group by `prototypes`.`id`
I know, where ... and doesn't work, because I have due to join only one column filter_id that can contain only one single value at the same time (what actually groupBy() takes care of). So in this sense I have a new one row for the relation of the same Prototype with another Filter, e.g.:
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+---------+--------------+--------------+-----------+----+-----------+-------+-------+------------+------------+
| id | name | created_at | updated_at | type_id | prototype_id | prototype_id | filter_id | id | name | value | extra | created_at | updated_at |
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+---------+--------------+--------------+-----------+----+-----------+-------+-------+------------+------------+
| 1 | Gildan Softstyle Adult Ringspun T-shirt | NULL | NULL | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | gender | male | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 1 | Gildan Softstyle Adult Ringspun T-shirt | NULL | NULL | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3 | age_group | adult | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+---------+--------------+--------------+-----------+----+-----------+-------+-------+------------+------------+
I have already tried several different methods, including where 'filter_id' in(?,?), where FIND_IN_SET('filter_id', '?,?') and even restructured my database in accord with EAV-pattern (when the filters is divided into filter_names and filter_values). But every time I obtain only entries that fulfill one requirement of the whole set (equals logical OR), for instance (here we have prototypes for adults and men, but not only for adult men):
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+---------+--------------+--------------+-----------+----+-----------+-------+-------+------------+------------+
| id | name | created_at | updated_at | type_id | prototype_id | prototype_id | filter_id | id | name | value | extra | created_at | updated_at |
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+---------+--------------+--------------+-----------+----+-----------+-------+-------+------------+------------+
| 1 | Gildan Softstyle Adult Ringspun T-shirt | NULL | NULL | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | gender | male | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 2 | American Apparel Womans T-Shirt | NULL | NULL | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | age_group | adult | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | Gildan Adult Cotton T-shirt | NULL | NULL | 1 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | gender | male | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | American Apparel Mens T-Shirt | NULL | NULL | 1 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 | gender | male | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | American Apparel Kids T-Shirt | NULL | NULL | 1 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 1 | gender | male | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+----+-----------------------------------------+------------+------------+---------+--------------+--------------+-----------+----+-----------+-------+-------+------------+------------+
I'm almost desperate, does anybody have a clue?
Thanks you in advice for your help and sorry for so much text, I just wanted to describe all circumstances.

You have to join with the filters table repeatedly for each criterion.
select * from prototypes AS p
inner join types_prototypes AS tp1 on p.id = tp1.prototype_id
inner join prototypes_filters AS pf1 on p.id = pf1.prototype_id
inner join filters AS f1 on pf1.filter_id = f1.id
inner join types_prototypes AS tp2 on p.id = tp2.prototype_id
inner join prototypes_filters AS pf2 on p.id = pf2.prototype_id
inner join filters AS f2 on pf2.filter_id = f2.id
where tp1.type_id = ? and f1.filter_id = ?
AND tp2.type_id = ? and f2.filter_id = ?
group by prototypes.id
