Question

I’ve got this table:

I want to choose the last two entries (the two with the largest id’s) no matter what,
and also the 4 entries that have the most ‘power’ both queries joined together.

So in this example I would only have 4 results, id 9 & 8, 3 & 4.

I tried:

$query = "SELECT * FROM table 
          ORDER BY power DESC LIMIT 4 
          INNER JOIN SELECT * FROM table 
                     ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2 ";

I’m getting the “Invalid query” error. What is wrong here?

Answer 1

( SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY power DESC LIMIT 4 )
UNION
( SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2 )
