Mysql query multiple tables retrieve all results even null - mysql

I try to make this query to include all products_options_name results even if there are no related rows for the selected language in the information table.
When I run the query now, only products_propoptions are shown that have a related row for selected language in the information table.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Have you tried changing the INNER JOIN to a LEFT JOIN? The INNER JOIN may be causing the query to omit the resultset rows you're seeking.

This fixed it..
Included LEFT OUTER JOINS with the where conditions in the join...
Thanks..

SQL query to select from 3-4 tables

Please find below a link to the table-structure I have set up and to the query I am running.
Link to tables and query.
The present result is that only the firstnames, lastnames and "education_finished" are showing. But all the option_id's and their related lang_values still show "NULL".
The desired result:
Any suggestions how to solve?
Below is the query that you are using:
SELECT d.pf_firstname, d.pf_lastname, f.field_id, fl.option_id,
d.pf_education_finished, fl.lang_value
FROM phpbb_profile_fields_data d
LEFT JOIN phpbb_profile_fields f
ON d.pf_education_finished = f.field_name
LEFT JOIN phpbb_profile_fields_lang fl
ON f.field_id = fl.field_id
ORDER BY d.pf_lastname ASC
The reason why you are getting null value is because of this condition:
LEFT JOIN phpbb_profile_fields f
ON d.pf_education_finished = f.field_name
You are trying to join on pf_education_finished (int) field of one table and field_name (int) field of another table. Also, there are no matching values (e.g. pf_education_finished contains numbers whereas field_nameis 'education finished').
If you want the query to return something then you need to join on field_id and phpbb_profile_fields needs to have some records with matching field id, e.g.:
SELECT d.pf_firstname, d.pf_lastname, f.field_id, fl.option_id,
d.pf_education_finished, fl.lang_value
FROM phpbb_profile_fields_data d
LEFT JOIN phpbb_profile_fields f
ON d.pf_education_finished = f.field_id
LEFT JOIN phpbb_profile_fields_lang fl
ON f.field_id = fl.field_id
ORDER BY d.pf_lastname ASC
Here's the updated SQL Fiddle.
SELECT d.pf_firstname, d.pf_lastname, f.field_id, fl.option_id,
d.pf_education_finished, fl.lang_value
FROM phpbb_profile_fields_lang fl
inner JOIN phpbb_profile_fields f
ON f.field_id = fl.field_id
inner JOIN phpbb_profile_fields_data d
ON f.field_id = fl.field_id
ORDER BY d.pf_lastname ASC
This is the optional query if you want to display data from 3-4 tables but in this query names are repeats as per the count of field_id present in phpbb_profile_fields_lang.
The exact solution you are looking is, when you have the same primary key in all the tables from which you are retrieving the data.
Thank you.

use multiple results of a query within the query with joins

I have some tables in my database, three main ones and one that holds the many-to-many relations.
1. Student (student_id, student_name)
2. Sport (sport_id, sport_name)
3. Departm (depart_id, depart_name)
4. Sch (sch_id, sch_name)
5. StudSport(relationid, studendid, sportid, departid, schid)
What I want to do is e.g. retrieve the name of the department based on the relations when I know the id. I can get the ids like this:
SELECT departid, schid from studsport
inner join Student on student_id = studentid
inner join Sport on sport_id = sportid
where student_id = 1 and sport_id=2
but I want to get the names of the department and the Sch from their corresponding tables, and I dont know how to do that.
As you don't select anything from Student or Sport, you can remove the corresponding inner joins.
SELECT d.depart_name, sch.sch_name FROM StudSport s
INNER JOIN Sch sch ON s.schid = sch.sch_id
INNER JOIN Departm d ON s.departid = d.depart_id
WHERE s.studendid = 1 AND s.sportid = 2
Something like this???
select sch.sch_nam, departm.depart_name,
-- what you have already --
Left outer Join StudSport on Student.student_id = Studsport.studentid and Sport.sport_id = StudSport.sportid
left outer Join Sch on StudSport.schid = Sch.sch_id
left outer join Departm on studsport.depart_id = studsport.departid
This is untested, a fiddle makes it much easier to give answers because of that.
EDIT - I misread your original query - before the downvotes start to rain - fixing it right now.
The way you should use LEFT OUTER and INNER joins is how the data is meant (again, a fiddle will normally be usefull) but it's just a couple of joins from what you have i guess:
select *
from studsport
join student on studsport.studentid = student.student_id
join sport on studsport.sportid = sport.sport_id
left outer Join Sch on StudSport.schid = Sch.sch_id
left outer join Departm on studsport.depart_id = studsport.departid
where student_id = 1 and sport_id=2

MySQL how to select what I need, most likely an inner join

A bit of a newbie question, probably an INNER JOIN with an "AS" statement, but I can't figure it out...
This is for a MYSQL based competition app. I want to select the "img_title" for both img_id1 and img_id2. I can't figure out how to do it and still see which title is assigned to the associated _id1 or _id2.
My tables:
competitions
comp_id
img_id1
img_id2
on_deck
img_id
img_title
Desired results:
comp_id | img_id1 | img_title1 |img_id2 | img_title2
You need a join for each image:
SELECT comp.comp_id, img1.img_id, img1.img_title, img2.img_id, img2.img_title
FROM competitions comp
INNER JOIN on_deck img1 ON img1.img_id = comp.img_id1
INNER JOIN on_deck img2 ON img2.img_id = comp.img_id2
LEFT JOIN if img_id1 or img_id2 can be NULL.
select comp_id, img_id1, b.img_title as img_title1,
img_id2, b2.img_title as img_title2
from competitions a
left outer join on_deck b on b.img_id = a.img_id1
left outer join on_deck b2 on b2.img_id = a.img_id2
switch let outer join to inner join if you want to exclude rows in competitions that do not have two matching img_ids
This query should give you the results you want. This also assumes that comp.img_id1 and comp.img_id2 are never NULL.
SELECT comp.comp_id
, comp.img_id1
, deck1.img_title AS img_title1
, comp.img_id2
, deck2.img_title AS img_title2
FROM competitions AS comp
JOIN on_deck deck1 ON comp.img_id1 = deck1.img_id
JOIN on_deck deck2 ON comp.img_id2 = deck2.img_id
If you have plan on having a NULL or empty string comp.img_id1 and/or comp.img_id2 fields, you'll need to do some left joins.

MySQL join & search

I have a problem with joining some tables, heres my structure:
tbl_imdb:
fldID fldTitle fldImdbID
1 Moviename 0000001
tbl_genres:
fldID fldGenre
1 Action
2 Drama
tbl_genres_rel:
fldID fldMovieID fldGenreID
1 1 1
2 1 2
What I’m trying to do is a query that will find all movies that is both an action movie and drama, is this possible to do without a subquery, if so, how?
What I'm trying right now is:
SELECT tbl_imdb.*
FROM tbl_imdb
LEFT JOIN tbl_imdb_genres_rel ON ( tbl_imdb.fldID = tbl_imdb_genres_rel.fldMovieID )
LEFT JOIN tbl_imdb_genres ON ( tbl_imdb_genres_rel.fldGenreID = tbl_imdb_genres.fldID )
WHERE tbl_imdb_genres.fldGenre = 'Drama'
AND tbl_imdb_genres.fldGenre = 'Action';
But this dosnt work, however it does work if I only keep one of the two WHERE's, but thats not what I want.
Two ways to do it:
1
SELECT tbl_imdb.*
FROM tbl_imdb
INNER JOIN tbl_genres_rel rel_action
ON tbl_imdb.fldID = rel_action.fldMovieID
INNER JOIN tbl_genres genre_action
ON rel_action.fldGenreId = genre_action.fldID
AND 'Action' = genre_action.fldGenre
INNER JOIN tbl_genres_rel rel_drama
ON tbl_imdb.fldID = rel_drama.fldMovieID
INNER JOIN tbl_genres genre_drama
ON rel_drama.fldGenreId = genre_drama.fldID
AND 'Drama' = genre_drama.fldGenre
This method is on the same path as your original solution. 2 differences:
The join should be inner, not left because you're trying to get movies that certainly have the corresponding genre entry
Since you want to find 2 different generes, you'll have to do the join with tbl_genres_rel and tbl_genres twice, once for each particular genre you're interested in.
2
SELECT tbl_imdb.*
FROM tbl_imdb
INNER JOIN tbl_genres_rel
ON tbl_imdb.fldID = tbl_genres_rel.fldMovieID
INNER JOIN tbl_genres
ON tbl_genres_rel.fldGenreId = tbl_genres.fldID
AND tbl_genres.fldGenre IN ('Action', 'Drama')
GROUP BY tbl_imdb.fldID
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2
Again, the basic join plan is the same. Difference here is that we join to the tbl_genres_rel and tbl_genres path just once. This on itself fetches all genres for one film, and then filters for the one's you're interested in. The ones that qualify will now have 2 rows for each distinct value of tbl_imdb.fldId. The GROUP BY aggregates on that, flattening that into one row. By asserting in the HAVING clause that we have exactly 2 rows, we ensure that we keep only those rows that have both the genres.
(Note that this assumes that there is a unique constraint on tbl_genres_rel over {fldMovieID, fldGenreID}. If such a constraint is not present, you should consider adding it.)
LEFT JOIN is not applicable in your case because records should exist on both tables. And you need to count the instances of the movie
SELECT *
FROM tbl_imdb a
INNER JOIN tbl_genres_rel b
on a.fldID = fldMovieID
INNER JOIN tbl_genres c
on c.fldGenreID = b.fldID
WHERE c.fldGenre IN ('Drama', 'Action')
GROUP BY a.Moviename
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1

SQL Select multiple column values

I'm having difficulty with some SQL - and finding it hard to describe so please bear with me. I'm trying to select products that have an x number of correct features. To simplify things, the problem I'm having is with a few tables. The relevant information about my tables, is:
products(**product_id**)
features(**feature_id, product_id**, value_id)
featurenames(**feature_id**, name)
featurevalues(**value_id**, value)
I am trying to select all products that, for example, are for sex:male age:children, with age and sex being names in the featurenames table and male and children being values in the featurevalues table. This is part of another bigger query that gets all the products by category, which I haven't included as it will just complicate things. Thank you for your help in advance.
It's the table so nice, you join to it twice.
Select
P.Product_ID
From
Products P
Inner Join Features F1 On P.Product_ID = F1.Product_ID
Inner Join FeatureNames FN1 On F1.Feature_ID = FN1.Feature_ID And FN1.Name = 'sex'
Inner Join FeatureValues FV1 On F1.Value_ID = FV1.Value_ID And FV1.Value = 'male'
Inner Join Features F2 On P.Product_ID = F2.Product_ID
Inner Join FeatureNames FN2 On F2.Feature_ID = FN2.Feature_ID And FN1.Name = 'age'
Inner Join FeatureValues FV2 On F2.Value_ID = FV2.Value_ID And FV1.Value = 'children'
