Question

I have 2 tables in mysql: tableA and tableB

tableA: idA
tableB: idB, name

Now i want to fire following query:

SELECT * FROM tableA WHERE idA in (1, 2, 3, 4);

idA and idB are exactly same. I want to access “name” field of tableB in the above query.

How do i do this???

Thanks alot for help

Use a MySQL JOIN

    SELECT tableB.name 
      FROM tableA 
INNER JOIN tableB ON tableA.idA=tableB.idB 
     WHERE idA in (1, 2, 3, 4);
