Thanks,
This is close, but it does not quite get the result I'm looking for, I
basically need the following MySQL query:
SELECT Calls . * , created_by.Name, handled_by.Name
FROM (
Calls
LEFT JOIN Users AS created_by ON Calls.CreatedBy = created_by.ID
)
LEFT JOIN Users AS handled_by ON Calls.HandledBy = handled_by.ID;
I've tried adapting the code you posted but I can't seem to get the
result set I need. For example a call from 'Helen' created by Bob and
Handled by Sam, I would like to get the results:
CallerName created_by.Name handled_by.Name
Helen Bob Sam
but I get
Calls.id Calls.CallerName Users.Name Users.Name
1 Helen Bob Bob
1 Helen Sam Sam
1 Helen Charlie Charlie
Any ideas?
