How can i get this using sql query? It would be very helpful 🙂

Answer 1

Since the tables are not related by a foreign key relationship, you can not join them – what you want as a result, is the Cartesian product from the two tables. This is achieved by selecting from both tables without any additional join condition (this is also called a cross join):

mysql> SELECT * FROM userCode, SubMenuId;

This query combines all rows from the first table with all rows from the second table.
