Question

I have 3 mysql tables. The first table(tb_user) or the parent table have columns region_id and institution_id and both can also be found from a different tables:

• region_id(table: tb_region), and
• institution_id(table: tb_institutional_profile).

How do I query it to get all the columns in tb_user and display names(region_name from tb_region and institution_name form tb_institutional_profile) and not IDs.?

Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT 
  t.username, 
  r.region_name, 
  i.instituation_name
FROM tb_user t
INNER JOIN tb_region r ON t.region_id = r.region_id
INNER JOIN tb_institutional_profile i ON t.institution_id = i.institution_id
