Lets say I have a table1
:
id name
-------------
1 "one"
2 "two"
3 "three"
And a table2
with a foreign key to the first:
id tbl1_fk option value
-------------------------------
1 1 1 1
2 2 1 1
3 1 2 1
4 3 2 1
Now I want to have as a query result:
table1.id | table1.name | option | value
-------------------------------------
1 "one" 1 1
2 "two" 1 1
3 "three"
1 "one" 2 1
2 "two"
3 "three" 2 1
How do I achieve that?
I already tried:
SELECT
table1.id,
table1.name,
table2.option,
table2.value
FROM table1 AS table1
LEFT outer JOIN table2 AS table2 ON table1.id = table2.tbl1fk
but the result seems to omit the null vales:
1 "one" 1 1
2 "two" 1 1
1 "one" 2 1
3 "three" 2 1
SOLVED: thanks to Mahmoud Gamal: (plus the GROUP BY) Solved with this query
SELECT
t1.id,
t1.name,
t2.option,
t2.value
FROM
(
SELECT t1.id, t1.name, t2.option
FROM table1 AS t1
CROSS JOIN table2 AS t2
) AS t1
LEFT JOIN table2 AS t2 ON t1.id = t2.tbl1fk
AND t1.option = t2.option
group by t1.id, t1.name, t2.option, t2.value
ORDER BY t1.id, t1.name
You have to use CROSS JOIN
to get every possible combination of name
from the first table with the option
from the second table. Then LEFT JOIN
these combination with the second table. Something like:
SELECT
t1.id,
t1.name,
t2.option,
t2.value
FROM
(
SELECT t1.id, t1.name, t2.option
FROM table1 AS t1
CROSS JOIN table2 AS t2
) AS t1
LEFT JOIN table2 AS t2 ON t1.id = t2.tbl1_fk
AND t1.option = t2.option
