Question

I have 2 tables table1 and table2:

• table1 contains a field named id with a value 1212 (example) in it.
• table2 has a field named action with a data like added 1212 or updated 1212.

Now check this query.

SELECT t1.*, t2.name
FROM table1 t1, table2 t2
WHERE t2.action LIKE 'added t1.id'

I want to add the name field in the second table, to first one with the added(updated not needed) data only.
What is the where clause for this condition?
How can I query this?

Answer 1

I did it like this.

SELECT t1.*, t2.name
FROM table1 t1, table2 t2
WHERE t1.id = (RIGHT(t2.action, 4)) AND t2.action LIKE 'added %'

thanks to all who tried to help me.
