Question

Hello I have a single friends table as follows:

Id
Sender
Recipient

Where sender could be the one who initiated the friendship or the same person can be the recipient. It’s all stored in a single row.

How can I retrieve if “someone” is friends with “another” and get “someone” friendlist..

EDIT:
Trying to get the info from Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Answer 1

In SQL Server query or stored procedure:

select case 
    when Sender = @SenderID then Recipient
    else Sender
end as FriendID
from Friends
where Sender = @SenderID
or Recipient = @SenderID

Assume you are looking for a database query?
