Question

Database one is called widgets, it has “id” and “title”. Database two is called widget-layouts and it has “module-id”, “widget-id”, “position”, and “weight”.

What I am trying to do is check to see if widgets.id exists in widget-layout.widget-id and if it does, then does widget-layouts.position = 0. I also want to get the values of widgets that don’t exist in widget-layouts.

Here is the mysql query I have been working with.

SELECT * FROM widgets, widget-layouts
WHERE (widge-layouts.position = ‘0’
AND widgets.id =
widget-layouts.widget-id) OR
widgets.id NOT IN (SELECT * FROM
widget-layouts)

With this query I am getting a huge list of widgets where each widget is displayed multiple times.

Any ideas about this?

Answer 1

 SELECT *
 FROM widgets AS w
     LEFT JOIN widget-layouts AS wl
         ON w.id = wl.widget-id
 WHERE wl.widget-id IS NULL
     OR wl.position = '0'
