Question

I know MySQL doesn’t have a TOP 1 function for selecting the the first row. So I use limit 1 to do it. But how can I select the first row from two tables (tableX, tableY) at the same time.

like this?

SELECT * FROM Database.tableX 
limit 1, Database.tableY limit 1

Answer 1

Just this:

SELECT *
FROM Database.TableX, Database.TableY
LIMIT 1

or maybe this?

SELECT *
FROM
  (SELECT * FROM Database.TableX LIMIT 1) t1,
  (SELECT * FROM Database.TableY LIMIT 1) t2
