I have two tables (users and posts) and I want to write out all posts (among other things) by one user. I'm thinking I should use a JOIN and WHERE but I get an error for using WHERE.
This is my code:
SELECT username, post, joinDate, title, info FROM users
WHERE userId='18'
JOIN posts ON users.userId=posts.userId
ORDER BY date DESC
I'm new to this and perhaps there is a better way but I can't figure it out atm. Thankful for all answers!
The JOIN clause comes before the WHERE clause, after the FROM clause. First you join together all the tables you need, then you do your filtering with WHERE. Like this:
SELECT username, post, joinDate, title, info
FROM users
JOIN posts ON users.userId=posts.userId
WHERE users.userId='18'
ORDER BY date DESC
try like below
SELECT u.*,p.*
FROM users u JOIN posts p ON u.userId=p.userId
WHERE u.userId=18
ORDER BY date DESC
where
will be after join
and 18 is int datatype value so not need single quote for this and use alias for avoiding ambigous column name
SELECT username, post, joinDate, title, info
FROM users
JOIN posts ON users.userId=posts.userId and users.userId='18'
ORDER BY date DESC
if userId
is in users
table then YES you can use where userId='18'
.
If userId
is in posts
table then it should be userId='18'
be in join part.
