Question

I have 5 tables:

1. users
2. bands_users
3. bands
4. bands_gigs
5. gigs

A user can have many bands, a band can have many users
A gig can have many bands, a band can have many gigs

Given the user id 1, I would like to return all the gigs with their associated band.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

something like this?

SELECT g.*, b.*
FROM users u 
LEFT JOIN band_users bu ON u.id = bu.uid 
LEFT JOIN bands b ON bu.bid = b.id 
LEFT JOIN bands_gigs bg ON b.id = bg.bid 
LEFT JOIN gigs g ON bg.gid = g.id
WHERE u.id = 1
