Hi guys,

I am kinda new to mysql and on my endeavour to build a backend for a site i am building, i need to fetch data from a couple of tables, but dont know how to do it with a single select.
        Heres the problem:

        first table (products):

        id
        id_type
        name
        desc
        price

        second table (types):

        id_types
        name


What i need is to list all the products and show the type name of each of them. On the products table, on the "id_type" field, i have only a number pointing to its type on the "types" column, what i want to know is how i can do a select to fetch all the product records and replace the number on "id_type" with its equivalente name from the "types" table.

        Sorry if i cant explain it correctly, but heres an example:

        table products:

        id      id_type name    desc    price
        1       2       prod1   blah    45

        table types:

        id_type         name
        1               razor
        2               string

        I want the list to show:

        prod1   string  blah    45


        Thanks,

        Miguel
