Question

I am trying to retrieve schedules for each team based on my table below, but I am having some trouble getting the team names to display. Here are my tables:

TEAM
(team_id,
team_name,
team_mascot,
etc.)

GAME
(game_id,
game_date,
game_home_team,
game_visitor_team,
game_home_score,
game_visitor_score,
game_complete)

Here is my current query. I am able to get the team’s id values with this but I need the team names as id values won’t do me much good.

SELECT game_home_team, game_visitor_team, game_date
FROM game 
INNER JOIN team home ON home.team_id = game_home_team 
INNER JOIN team visitor ON visitor.team_id = game_visitor_team
WHERE game_home_team = ? 
OR game_visitor_team = 6 
ORDER BY game_date ASC;

How can I retrieve the team names with this query and also display a result such as W or L depending on the score for the game? Thanks so much in advance.

SELECT
   home.team_name AS home_team,
   visitor.team_name AS visitor_team,
   game_date,
   IF(
      game_home_score = game_visitor_score, 
      'Tie', 
      IF(
         game_home_score > game_visitor_score,
         'Hometeam',
         'Visitorteam'
      )
   ) AS Winner
FROM game 
INNER JOIN team home ON home.team_id = game_home_team 
INNER JOIN team visitor ON visitor.team_id = game_visitor_team
WHERE game_home_team = ? 
OR game_visitor_team = 6 
ORDER BY game_date ASC;
