Question

I’m sorry for the title, but I didn’t find a better one.
My problem is the following:
I want to select all fields from table “log” where field “user” is “user1” or “user2 in “friendships”. My query looks like this, but it returns a zero value:

    SELECT * FROM `log` 
    WHERE `user` = ANY(SELECT `user1` FROM `friendships` 
                       WHERE (`user1` = 1 OR `user2` = 1) AND `active` = 1) 
    OR `user` = ANY(SELECT `user2` FROM `friendships` 
                    WHERE (`user1` = 1 OR `user2` = 1) AND `active` = 1) 
    GROUP BY `arguments` 
    ORDER BY `created` DESC

If I used only one subquery it works, but I need the second field too. And there are more values (that’s the reason why I use subqueries with ANY and not JOIN).
I hope somebody finds my error :).

Answer 1

i hope this works:

SELECT *
FROM `log` INNER JOIN `friendships` on
    `log`.`user` = `friendships`.`user`
WHERE `friendships`.`user` in (1,2)
            AND
      `friendships`.`active` = 1
ORDER BY `created` DESC

PS: Can post the schema (or structure) of your table?

UPDATE 1

SELECT *
FROM
(
    SELECT *
    FROM `log` INNER `friendships` on
        `log`.`user` = `friendships`.`user1`
    WHERE `friendships`.`user1` in (1,2) 
            AND
          `friendships`.`active` = 1
    UNION
    SELECT *
    FROM `log` INNER `friendships` on
        `log`.`user` = `friendships`.`user2`
    WHERE `friendships`.`user2` in (1,2) 
            AND
          `friendships`.`active` = 1
) as iTable
ORDER BY iTable.`created` DESC
