Question

I have two mysql tables that I am querying together and the query works fine. The tables are car and requests

The problem is that i need both the auto increment id’s and it only gives me one.

The one it gives me is not the joined tabled.

Here is my query so far

SELECT * FROM `car` INNER JOIN `requests` ON `car`.`make_id` = `requests`.`make_id` WHERE `car`.`user_id` =21

I just need to someway get the auto increment id of the requests table.

As always stack exchange is the best place to come for answers so thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Just specify your query as this and you’ll get both but with different names:

SELECT `car`.id AS car_id, `requests`.id AS request_id, * 
FROM `car` 
INNER JOIN `requests` ON `car`.`make_id` = `requests`.`make_id` 
WHERE `car`.`user_id` =21

Note that you will still have an ID column which SHOULD be the requests.id, just diregard it and use car_id and request_id…
