Question

Hi i have a table structure like this.

table

**geoinfo**
id
name
desc

I have table

**zip_to_city**
id, 
zip_id fk geoinfo
city_id fk geoinfo

than i also have

**zip_to_state** 
id
zip_id fk geoinfo
state_id fk geoinfo

I want to query so that I am able to get each zip with the respective city and state. I don’t want the id, i want the name. geoinfo is the main table containing name and description of each geoinfo.

Whats the best query to do this?

Answer 1

SELECT city_geo.geography_name as city,state_geo.geography_name as state, zip_geo.geography_name as postalCode
FROM zip_to_city zc, zip_to_state zs, 
geoinfo city_geo, geoinfo state_geo, geoinfo zip_geo
where zc.city_id = city_geo.id
AND state_geo.id= zs.state_id
AND zip_geo.id = zc.zip_id 
AND zip_geo.id = zs.zip_id
AND zip_geo.name = ? 

This works for me and gets what i want.
