Question

I have stumped on this as I am a total beginner in MySql.

Here is a the basic of how the two tables are formed

Table 1
id,product_id, product_name

Table 2
id,product_id,active

Now i know how to do a select statement to query the results from one table but when I have to involve two, I am lost. Not sure if I have to use inner join, left join etc.

So how can I return the results of the product_id from table 1 only if in table 2 is active?

Answer 1

It’s pretty simple to join two tables:

select t1.* 
from Table1 t1
join Table2 t2 on t1.product_id = t2.product_id
where t2.active = 'Y'
