Multiple rows in a select with OR - mysql

Question

I have this query and when I add a OR, return multiples rows, how I can fix this? I need another left join or Right join?
SELECT `images`.`id` as `id_image`, `images_lang`.`title` as `title`, `images_lang`.`autor` as `author`, `media_lang`.`file`, `category_lang`.`title` as `category`
FROM `images`
JOIN `images_lang` ON `images_lang`.`id_images` = `images`.`id`
JOIN `category_lang` ON `images`.`id_category` = `category_lang`.`id_category`
JOIN `media` ON `images`.`id` = `media`.`id_item`
JOIN `media_lang` ON `media`.`id` = `media_lang`.`id_media`
JOIN `relation` ON `relation`.`from_id` = `images`.`id`
JOIN `tag` ON `tag`.`id` = `relation`.`to_id`
JOIN `tag_lang` ON `tag`.`id` = `tag_lang`.`id_lang`
WHERE `media`.`table` = 'images'
AND `media_lang`.`id_lang` = '1'
AND `images_lang`.`id_lang` = '1'
AND `category_lang`.`id_lang` = '1'
AND `images`.`active` = 1
AND `relation`.`type` = 2
AND `tag_lang`.`id_lang` = '1'
AND `tag_lang`.`slug` = 'pa-am-oli'
OR `tag_lang`.`slug` = 'playa'
LIMIT 9
and the code in codeigniter, but I don´t how add the or after the and ($keywords is an array for filter the elements)
$this->db->select('images.id as id_image, images_lang.title as title, images_lang.autor as author, media_lang.file, category_lang.title as category');
$this->db->from($this->table);
$this->db->join($this->table.'_lang',$this->table.'_lang.id_images = '.$this->table.'.id');
$this->db->join('category_lang',$this->table.'.id_category = category_lang.id_category');
$this->db->join('media',$this->table.'.id = media.id_item');
$this->db->join('media_lang','media.id = media_lang.id_media');
$this->db->where('media.table',$this->table);
$this->db->where('media_lang.id_lang',$id_lang);
$this->db->where($this->table.'_lang.id_lang', $id_lang);
$this->db->where('category_lang.id_lang', $id_lang);
$this->db->where('images.active', 1);
if($category){
$this->db->where('category_lang.title', $category);
}
if($keywords){
$this->db->join('relation', 'relation.from_id = '.$this->table.'.id');
$this->db->join('tag', 'tag.id = relation.to_id');
$this->db->join('tag_lang', 'tag.id = tag_lang.id_lang');
$this->db->where('relation.type', _IMAGES_2_TAGS_);
$this->db->where('tag_lang.id_lang', $id_lang);
foreach($keywords as $tag){
$this->db->or_where('tag_lang.slug', $tag);
}
}
if($from || $limit)
{
$this->db->limit((int)$limit, (int)$from);
}
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result_array();

Answer 1

I solved the query adding this (and a Select Distinct)
AND (`tag_lang`.`slug` = 'playa'
OR `tag_lang`.`slug` = 'pa-am-oli')
How I can add this in codeigniter?

Answer 2

I don't get what you need exactly, but if you want have just one line as a return by filtering using OR
In your case you should do the following:
WHERE (`media`.`table` = 'images' OR `tag_lang`.`slug` = 'playa')
AND (`media_lang`.`id_lang` = '1' OR `tag_lang`.`slug` = 'playa')
and so on, I hope that helps you and good luck!

Answer 3

Astute use of parentheses would solve your problem, but this is easier to read...
SELECT i.id id_image
, il.title
, il.autor author
, ml.file
, cl.title category
FROM images i
JOIN images_lang il
ON il.id_images = i.id
JOIN category_lang cl
ON cl.id_category = i.id_category
JOIN media m
ON m.id_item = i.id
JOIN media_lang ml
ON ml.id_media = m.id
JOIN relation r
ON r.from_id = i.id
JOIN tag t
ON t.id = r.to_id
JOIN tag_lang tl
ON tl.id_lang = t.id
WHERE m.table = 'images'
AND ml.id_lang = 1
AND il.id_lang = 1
AND cl.id_lang = 1
AND i.active = 1
AND r.type = 2
AND tl.id_lang = 1
AND tl.slug IN('pa-am-oli','playa')
LIMIT 9
... however, note that LIMIT without ORDER BY is fairly meaningless.
