hi list,

i have two tables:

idea(iid int not null primary_key auto_increment,
completed_by int,
submitted_by int);

employee(eid int not null primary_key auto_increment,
first varchar(20),
last varchar(30));

table idea data:
1  |  4  | 10
2  |  3  | 7

table employee data:
3  | john  | Doe
4  | betty | smith
7  | bob   | Gomez
10 | sun   | mcnab

i'm trying to select from idea table such that when iid = 1, i should get betty smith for completed_by column and sun mcnab for submitted_by column.


1st trial:
select iid,completed_by,submitted_by from idea where iid=1

i got:
1  |  4  | 10

2nd trial:
select idd,concat(first," ",last),submitted_by from idea,employee where iid=1 and completed_by=eid;

i got:
1  | betty smith | 10

now, instead of 10 for the submitted_by column, how do i get sun mcnab?

thanks,
T. Hiep
