Hello everyone, Can someone please help with this. I'm porting my work from Mssql to MySQL I need some syntax help. My query takes fields from three tables but it also needs an INNER JOIN between two tables. I have the following :
Table 1: Mysql> select * from table_1; ================================ Catalog_id format ------------------------------ 1 Format_1 2 Format_2 ============================== Mysql> select * from table_2; (In this table -1 indicates it should match any and all values of chapter_id) ============================================================== catalog_id section_id chapter_id section_name --------------------------------------------------------------- 1 1 -1 Name 1 1 2 -1 Name 2 =============================================================== Mysql> select * from table_3; ============================================ catalog_id section_id chapter_id -------------------------------------------- 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 2 1 1 2 2 1 2 3 1 3 1 1 3 2 ============================================ I need a query that will give me the following result. I've done this in Mssql with an inner join between table_2 and table_3 on section_id and chapter_id. But I'm having problems getting the right results in MySQL. Your help will be much appreciated. ================================================================== catalog_id section_id chapter_id Section_name format ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 1 1 Name 1 Format_1 1 1 2 Name 1 Format_1 1 1 3 Name 1 Format_1 1 2 1 Name 2 Format_1 1 2 2 Name 2 Format_1 1 2 3 Name 2 Format_1 1 3 1 Format_1 1 3 2 Format_1 ================================================================== thanks in advance Leila --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
