Question

I have two tables on my database.

One called room and another is called room_booking.

Both room and room booking have the same column room_id.

I’ve drafted the following SQL query that checks for rooms with a specific date:

SELECT DISTINCT room_id FROM `room_booking` WHERE date_booked='$date'";

But now I need to use the list of id’s to access the info respective rooms in room_booking. The fields I am interested in are name and room_size.

How can I achieve this? Would I require a joint SQL statement?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Yes. You should Join both tables for getting results.

Try below

SELECT  r.roomid,r.room, r.room_size,date_booked 
FROM room  as r left  JOIN room_booking  as rb ON r.room_id=rb.room_id 
WHERE date_booked='$date'
