Question

table structure:

SELECT p.id id, p.type
    TYPE , v.provider provider, v.video_id video_id, NULL content, NULL url, NULL posted_by
    FROM post p
    INNER JOIN p_video v ON p.id = v.id
    AND p.type =  'video'
    UNION 
    SELECT p.id, p.type, NULL , NULL , t.content, NULL , NULL 
    FROM post p
    INNER JOIN p_text t ON p.id = t.id
    AND p.type =  'text'
    UNION 
    SELECT p.id, p.type, NULL , NULL , NULL , i.url, NULL 
    FROM post p
    INNER JOIN p_image i ON p.id = i.id
    AND p.type =  'image'
    UNION 
    SELECT p.id, p.type, NULL , NULL , NULL , l.url, NULL 
    FROM post p
    INNER JOIN p_link l ON p.id = l.id
    AND p.type =  'link'
    UNION 
    SELECT p.id, NULL , NULL , NULL , NULL , NULL , u.name
    FROM post p
    LEFT JOIN user u ON p.user_id = u.id
    ORDER BY id DESC 
    LIMIT 0 , 30

What’s my syntax error? It just makes 2 rows.. but I want all the output in seperate 1 rows.

try this

SELECT p.id id, p.type
TYPE , v.provider provider, v.video_id video_id, NULL content, NULL url, u.name posted_by
FROM post p
LEFT JOIN user u ON p.user_id = u.id
INNER JOIN p_video v ON p.id = v.id
AND p.type =  'video'
UNION 
SELECT p.id, p.type, NULL , NULL , t.content, NULL , u.name
FROM post p
LEFT JOIN user u ON p.user_id = u.id
INNER JOIN p_text t ON p.id = t.id
AND p.type =  'text'
UNION 
SELECT p.id, p.type, NULL , NULL , NULL , i.url, u.name
FROM post p
LEFT JOIN user u ON p.user_id = u.id
INNER JOIN p_image i ON p.id = i.id
AND p.type =  'image'
UNION 
SELECT p.id, p.type, NULL , NULL , NULL , l.url, u.name
FROM post p
LEFT JOIN user u ON p.user_id = u.id
INNER JOIN p_link l ON p.id = l.id
AND p.type =  'link'
ORDER BY id DESC 
LIMIT 0 , 30
