I'm pulling my hair out about a query that should be simple. I have a table "members" with columns id, group_id, and a few more that aren't important here. group_id refers to another row in the same "members" table, but not all members have a group_id. What I want to do is select, for a particular member, the member's name and (if the member is in a group) the group's ID and name.
Here's the simplified query: SELECT members.name, group.id, group.name FROM members LEFT JOIN members AS group ON group.id = members.group_id WHERE members.id = 6 And here's the error I get: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'group ON group.id = members.group_id WHERE members.id = 6' at line 3 Can anybody explain to me how I can get this to work? Is there some kind of trick to joining a table to itself?
