Question

I’m doing this in Chrome WebDB/SQLite

I have a members table and an answer table that a member may or may not have answered.

I am TRYING to get back a result set that includes the member name and answer they gave.. BUT if they didnt give an answer, I still want their name to come back.

Can someone try and help me on this?

SELECT m.LastName, 
       m.FirstName, 
       m.MiddleName, 
       s.surveyAnswer 
FROM Members m 
    LEFT JOIN SurveyAnswers s 
      ON s.memberID = m.id 
WHERE m.id = ? 
AND s.eventID = ? 

[results.rows.item(i).memberID, eventId],

This is what I try but still only receive the members who answered a question and is also in the SurveyAnswers table.

Answer 1

Make s.eventID part of the join rather than the WHERE clause.

Your select statement should look more like this:

SELECT m.LastName, 
       m.FirstName, 
       m.MiddleName, 
       s.surveyAnswer 
FROM Members m 
    LEFT JOIN SurveyAnswers s 
      ON s.memberID = m.id 
        AND s.eventID = ? 
WHERE m.id = ?
