Question

distributors table

name          id
usf south     1
usf north     2
usf east      3
usf west      4

ogi table

distributor    itemname
1              cheese
1              apples
3              oranges
2              pineapples

I currently have the number found in column “distributor” from the “ogi table” displayed for each itemname on a page. However, I’d like to change this number to the correct distributor name, found in the “distributors table”. How can I do this?

Thanks for the assistance.

Answer 1

If you’re interested in replacing only the query and none of the underlining programming, this may provide to be a viable solution:

SELECT
    ogi.itemname,
    distributors.name AS distributor
FROM
    ogi
INNER JOIN
    distributors
    ON
    ogi.distributor = distributors.id
