Is it possible to have the following situation:
Schema:
id
first
last
optional_id
I want to do a select like this:
SELECT D.id, D.first, D.last, D.optional_id, db1.first, db1.last
FROM db1 AS D
LEFT JOIN db1 ON D.optional_id=db1.id;
and have it return:
|id|first|last|optional_id|first|last|
--------------------------------------
| 1| bob | d.| NULL| NULL|NULL|
| 2| guy | e.| 1| bob| d.|
| 3| hrm | h.| NULL| NULL|NULL|
Of course the above syntax is broken, but I was wondering if this was
possible?
Thanks!
Graeme
