I’m quite new to SQLite and SQL and I am struggling with how to approach the following:

My app will display a list of community members. If I click a member, I can see a list of posts made by the members. A post is an object with name, time and message. How can I store this in an SQLite database so that I can query the database by userid and get the list of posts for a specific user.

I have a Users table with these columns:

USER_ID | NAME

I have a Tweet table with these columns:

USER_ID | NAME | TIME | MESSAGE

My questions are: what the best approach / structure to link these two tables? Do I create a new tweet table for every user, or do I store all tweets in one long table with tweets for user 1 first then for user 2 etc?

I’m not necessarily looking for code dumps but rather an explanation of the logic.

    This is a typical “JOIN” scenario where you have a one-to-many relationship between Users and Posts.

    Here is an example of a query that would display all users and their posts:

    SELECT u.User_ID, u.Name, p.Time, p.Message
FROM Users u INNER JOIN Posts p ON u.User_ID = p.User_ID

    This will produce a resultset with four columns. Each “Tweet” will be displayed with its related User record. The ‘u.’ and ‘p.’ syntax are table aliases used to make the query easier to read.
