Question

I have 2 tables in SQL Server:

Now I want to write a select statement to join these 2 tables to get MatchId, Host name and Guest name.

What I tried:

select Match.Id, Team.Name, Team.Name 
from Match 
join Team on Match.HostId = Team.Id

and I got host name and guest name are the same.

select Match.Id, Team.Name, Team.Name 
from Match 
join Team on Match.HostId = Team.Id 
join Team on Match.GuestId = Team.Id

I got error.

Please help!

You will just need to join on the table twice:

select m.id MatchId, 
   h.name HostName, 
   g.name GuestName
from match m
left join team h
  on m.hostid = h.id
left join team g
  on m.guestid = g.id
