Question

My table structure looks like this:

      tbl.users                       tbl.issues +--------+-----------+   +---------+------------+-----------+ | userid | real_name |   | issueid | assignedid | creatorid | +--------+-----------+   +---------+------------+-----------+ |   1    |   test_1  |   |    1    |     1      |     1     | |   2    |   test_2  |   |    2    |     1      |     2     | +--------+-----------+   +---------+------------+-----------+ 

Basically I want to write a query that will end in a results table looking like this:

                           (results table) +---------+------------+---------------+-----------+--------------+ | issueid | assignedid | assigned_name | creatorid | creator_name | +---------+------------+---------------+-----------+--------------+ |    1    |     1      |    test_1     |    1      |    test_1    | |    2    |     1      |    test_1     |    2      |    test_2    | +---------+------------+---------------+-----------+--------------+ 

My SQL looks like this at the moment:

SELECT    `issues`.`issueid`,   `issues`.`creatorid`,   `issues`.`assignedid`,   `users`.`real_name` FROM `issues` JOIN `users`    ON ( `users`.`userid` = `issues`.`creatorid` )   OR (`users`.`userid` = `issues`.`assignedid`) ORDER BY `issueid` ASC LIMIT 0 , 30  

This returns something like this:

                (results table) +---------+------------+-----------+-----------+ | issueid | assignedid | creatorid | real_name | +---------+------------+-----------+-----------+ |    1    |     1      |     1     |   test_1  | |    2    |     1      |     2     |   test_1  | |    2    |     1      |     2     |   test_2  | +---------+------------+-----------+-----------+ 

Can anyone help me get to the desired results table?

SELECT    IssueID,    AssignedID,    CreatorID,    AssignedUser.real_name AS AssignedName,    CreatorUser.real_name AS CreatorName FROM Issues   LEFT JOIN Users AS AssignedUser          ON Issues.AssignedID = AssignedUser.UserID   LEFT JOIN Users AS CreatorUser          ON Issues.CreatorID = CreatorUser.UserID ORDER BY `issueid` ASC LIMIT 0, 30
