Question

SELECT * FROM `image_appreciations`
WHERE `image_id` IN(SELECT `id` FROM `images` WHERE `user_id` = '1')

Is my current query, it returns zero results

SELECT `id` FROM `images` WHERE `user_id` = '1'

being the subquery returns around 8 id’s which two of them are found in

SELECT * FROM `image_appreciations`
WHERE `image_id` IN(77,89)

And that works fine. But all together it fails. What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

This could be done using JOIN. Below is an example using the implicit short-hand syntax.

SELECT * FROM image_appreciations a, images i
WHERE a.image_id = i.id AND i.user_id = 1
