How I can select name of creator and editor from users table, creator and editor are different ids in same table, but user table is different table
Is it what you mean?
$sql = "
SELECT id,name
FROM users
WHERE users.id = editors_table.$editor_id
OR users.id = creators_table.$creator_id";
from what i understand, are you saying you have 3 tables - 1 with creator data, 1 with editor data, and a third that references a record in each of the tables using an id?
if so, you'll have to use JOINs to achieve what you want - something like:
SELECT id, name, editors_table.editor_id, creators_table.creator_id
FROM users
LEFT JOIN editors_table ON user.editor_id = editor_table.editor_id
LEFT JOIN creators_table ON user.creator_id = creator_table.creator_id
WHERE editor_table.editor_id = $editor_id_var
OR creator_table.creator_id = $creator_id_var
(you'll want to go through the query as I'm guessing here)

New to php and sql so i will try to explain:
I have a SEARCH field in PHP and i am trying to search by 'ProposalName' that match with what the user enters.
This prints out fine:
SELECT
rec_proposal.ProposalID,
ProposalName,
Status,
researcher.FirstName,
researcher.LastName,
reviewer.FirstName as revFirstName,
reviewer.LastName as revLastName,
reviewer.UserID as revUserID,
review.ReviewDate as revDate,
rec_proposal.DateSubmitted
FROM rec_proposal
INNER JOIN User AS researcher
ON rec_proposal.userid = researcher.UserID
LEFT JOIN review
ON rec_proposal.ProposalID=review.ProposalID
LEFT JOIN User as reviewer
ON review.UserID=reviewer.UserID
But now using all the columns I need the above code to do something like this
SELECT * FROM rec_proposal WHERE CONCAT (ProposalName) LIKE'%test%'
SO if user enters the word 'test' you would see ProposalName that contains the words test
Just add your WHERE clause, it should work. And as scaisEdge noted in their comment, you don't need CONCAT() if you are just evaluating a single column :
SELECT
rec_proposal.ProposalID,
ProposalName,
Status,
researcher.FirstName,
researcher.LastName,
reviewer.FirstName as revFirstName,
reviewer.LastName as revLastName,
reviewer.UserID as revUserID,
review.ReviewDate as revDate,
rec_proposal.DateSubmitted
FROM rec_proposal
INNER JOIN User AS researcher
ON rec_proposal.userid = researcher.UserID
LEFT JOIN review
ON rec_proposal.ProposalID=review.ProposalID
LEFT JOIN User as reviewer
ON review.UserID=reviewer.UserID
WHERE rec_proposal.ProposalName LIKE '%test%'
I have question . If i have user table and a column name be freinds .
I want use some user id inside a column friends with this value : 1|2|45|18 .
This means for example user id =5 have 4 freinds with these id 1|2|45|18.
I don't want use two table for this situation.
How can select each users data when friends with user id = 5 ?
In php we have explode function for slice each delimeter .
Can i set delimeter for this target or i should use two table user and friends in MySQL ?
It's an awful case, especially if you inherit some DB with such a scheme, but to find friends you can use:
SELECT friend.*
FROM user u
left join user friend on concat('|', o.friends, '|') like concat('%|', friend.id, '|%')
where u.id = 5;
Say I have the following tables
User
__________
id
username
email
FriendGame
__________
id
useroneid
usertwoid
status
I want to get games that the current user is part of, so I do this:
SELECT *
FROM FriendGame
WHERE useroneid=1663702020516206
OR usertwoid=1663702020516206
AND STATUS =1;
This is fine. Now I want to join the username, but only for the user that ISNT the supplied user (1663702020516206) since in FriendGame the given user exists EITHER as useroneid or usertwoid.
You can pretty much translate your logic directly into an on clause:
SELECT fg.*
FROM FriendGame fg JOIN
User u
ON (fg.useroneid = 1663702020516206 and fg.usertwoid = u.id) or
(fg.usertwoid = 1663702020516206 and fg.useroneid = u.id)
WHERE 1663702020516206 in (fg.useroneid, fg.usertwoid) AND
STATUS = 1;
Actually, the where clause is not necessary to get the right result set, but I think it makes the intention of the query clearer.
dont blame for the database design.I am not its database architect. I am the one who has to use it in current situation
I hope this will be understandable.
I have 3 tables containing following data with no foreign key relationship b/w them:
groups
groupId groupName
1 Admin
2 Editor
3 Subscriber
preveleges
groupId roles
1 1,2
2 2,3
3 1
roles
roleId roleTitle
1 add
2 edit
Query:
SELECT roles
from groups
LEFT JOIN preveleges ON (groups.groupId=preveleges.groupId)
returns specific result i.e roles.
Problem: I wanted to show roleTitle instead of roles in the above query.
I am confused how to relate table roles with this query and returns required result
I know it is feasible with coding but i want in SQL.Any suggestion will be appreciated.
SELECT g.groupName,
GROUP_CONCAT(r.roleTitle
ORDER BY FIND_IN_SET(r.roleId, p.roles))
AS RoleTitles
FROM groups AS g
LEFT JOIN preveleges AS p
ON g.groupId = p.groupId
LEFT JOIN roles AS r
ON FIND_IN_SET(r.roleId, p.roles)
GROUP BY g.groupName ;

I would change the data structure it self. Since It's not normalised, there are multiple elements in a single column.
But it is possible with SQL, if for some (valid) reason you can't change the DB.
A simple "static" solution:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(roles, '1', 'add'), '2', 'edit') from groups
LEFT JOIN preveleges ON(groups.groupId=preveleges.groupId)
A more complex but still ugly solution:
CREATE FUNCTION ReplaceRoleIDWithName (#StringIds VARCHAR(50))
RETURNS VARCHAR(50)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #RoleNames VARCHAR(50)
SET #RoleNames = #StringIds
SELECT #RoleNames = REPLACE(#RoleNames, CAST(RoleId AS VARCHAR(50)), roleTitle)
FROM roles
RETURN #RoleNames
END
And then use the function in the query
SELECT ReplaceRoleIDWithName(roles) from groups
LEFT JOIN preveleges ON(groups.groupId=preveleges.groupId)
It is possible without function, but this is more readable. Made without editor so it's not tested in anyway.
You also tagged the question with PostgreSQL and it's actually quite easy with Postgres to work around this broken design:
SELECT grp.groupname, r.roletitle
FROM groups grp
join (
select groupid, cast(regexp_split_to_table(roles, ',') as integer) as role_id
from privileges
) as privs on privs.groupid = grp.groupid
join roles r on r.roleid = privs.role_id;
SQLFiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!12/5e87b/1
(Note that I changed the incorrectly spelled name preveleges to the correct spelling privileges)
But you should really, really re-design your data model!
Fixing your design also enables you to define foreign key constraints and validate the input. In your current model, the application would probably break (just as my query would), if someone inserted the value 'one,two,three' into the roles table.
Edit
To complete the picture, using Postgres's array handling the above could be slightly simplified using a similar approach as MySQL's find_in_set()
select grp.groupname, r.roletitle
from groups grp
join privileges privs on grp.groupid = privs.groupid
join roles r on r.roleid::text = any (string_to_array(privs.roles, ','))
In both cases if all role titles should be shown as a comma separated list, the string_agg() function could be used (which is equivalent to MySQL's group_concat()
select grp.groupname, string_agg(r.roletitle, ',')
from groups grp
join privileges privs on grp.groupid = privs.groupid
join roles r on r.roleid::text = any (string_to_array(privs.roles, ','))
group by grp.groupname
Here i posted a question about doing JOIN depending on the value of the column in the row.
You will need that is you make an Add Friend feature, where you write the ID of the 2 users who are Adding each other into user_1_id (my id) and user_2_id (friend id).
When you want to see who you are friends with, select DEPENDING on whether user_1_id or user_2_id has the ID of the surrent User (the one who is browsing)
I figured it out so down below is the query you want to use in case you need to do it.
Here is the query
$sql_inp = 'SELECT DISTINCT
users.id, users.first_name, users.last_name,
CASE
WHEN friends.user_2_id="'.$_SESSION[USER][id].'" //equal to current user id
THEN (SELECT friends.user_1_id FROM friends WHERE friends.user_2_id="'.$_SESSION[USER][id].'") // if user_2_id is My id, then fetch the other row
ELSE friends.user_2_id // obviously the opposite
END
FROM users
LEFT JOIN friends ON users.id= // this case is completely the same as one above
CASE
WHEN friends.user_2_id="'.$_SESSION[USER][id].'" THEN (SELECT friends.user_1_id FROM friends WHERE friends.user_2_id="'.$_SESSION[USER][id].'")
ELSE friends.user_2_id
END
WHERE friends.user_1_id="'.$_SESSION[USER][id].'" OR friends.user_2_id="'.$_SESSION[USER][id].'" // fetch the row where the either one of the values is equal to My id
';
Hope this helps if anyone had trouble
Personally, I hate using CASE statement. It makes queries look cluttered. Try using the IF function
$sql_inp = 'SELECT
table1.val1,table1.val2,
table2.val1,table2.val2,
IF(table3.val1="'.$user_id.'",table3.val1,
IF(table3.val2 ="'.$user_id.'",table3.val2,
IFNULL(table3.val2,-1))) users_fetch
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2 ON table2.val1=table1.val1
LEFT JOIN table3 ON table2.val1=users_fetch';
In this query, if table3.val1 and table3.val2 <> $user_id, then users_fetch is -1.
Give it a Try !!!
