Hi all.
I have this sample setup:
CREATE table t1 ( t text, id int );
CREATE TABLE f1 ( t text );
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES
( 'field1',1 ),
( 'field2',1 ),
( 'field3',1 ),
( 'field1',2 ),
( 'field3',3 )
;
INSERT INTO f1 VALUES
( 'field1' ),
( 'field2' )
;
What I'd need to do is to "filter" t1 against f1 to get only the rows
( 'field1',1 ) and ( 'field2',1 ).
Of course both t1 and f1 don't have a defined number of rows,
though usually
t1 should be much bigger that f1.
I have a rather complex solution in mind with loops in a plpgsql
function and
am wondering whether there is one simpler.
You're really going to need to go into some more detail about what
you're actually trying to do here. The following query will get your
requested results, but I'm not sure it's really what you want:
SELECT t1.t, t1.id
FROM t1, f1
WHERE t1.t = f1.t and t1.id = 1;
