How can an SQL query return data from multiple tables

i want a good intel about how to do such a thing :
select everything from my table 1 and my table 2 where the id_article of my table 2 is equal to id from my table 1…I try this :

SELECT * FROM table1 AS n, table2 AS a WHERE n.id = a.id_article

But it didn’t work…I don’t understand the whole process though….

Thanks for any clue

Answer 1

Use the JOIN statement.

SELECT * 
  FROM table1 
  JOIN table2 
    ON table1.id = table2.id_article

Optionally you can add WHERE conditions in the end
