Question

Is it posibble to select 3 tables at a time in 1 database?

Table 1: employee
              --> employee_id
              --> first_name
              --> last_name
              --> middle_name
              --> birthdate
              --> address
              --> gender
              --> image
              --> salary

Table 2: logs
              --> log_id
              --> full_name 
              --> employee_id
              --> date
              --> time
              --> status

Table 2: logout
              --> log_id
              --> full_name 
              --> employee_id
              --> date
              --> time
              --> status

I wanted to get the value of employee table where $id of selected. Then the $id also get the value of log.time, log.date, logout.time, and logout.date.

I already try using UNION but nothing happens.

Up to you to put it in your app, but the query looks like this. Dan’s query will not return exactly what you said you’re looking for.

SELECT e.*, l.time, l.date, lo.time, lo.date 
  FROM employee e
  LEFT JOIN logs l 
    ON l.employee_id = e.employee_id
  LEFT JOIN logout lo
    ON lo.employee_id = e.employee_id
  WHERE e.employee_id = {your id here}
