Question

I’m having a bit of headache with some SQL I’m trying to write. Basically, there’s 2 tables that have the following fields (only relevant ones to SQL displayed):

Invoices

 accno (fk, linked to id on accounts)

Accounts

 id (pk)
 allocateduser

Basically, my SQL needs to return all invoices for which account has their current logged in name as the AllocatedUser, which is stored in a Session. Is this simple to do?

Thanks

You can look up all accounts for a user with a where statement, and link the result to the invoices table with a join. For example:

select  *
from    invoices i
join    accounts a
on      i.accno = a.id
where   a.allocateduser = 'YourUser'
