Question

this SQL statement

"select firstname,lastname from users where lastname in('foo','bar') group by firstname"

it means select all records in table “users” where lastname match any of the “foo” or “bar”

I don’t want this behaviour

what I want to retrieve is all records in “users” table where lastnames match all of “foo” and “bar”

so is there anything to do that?

I knew I should replace in(‘foo’,’bar’) with something but I don’t know that thing!?

Thanks

update

for example if the table has these records

        firstname | lastname
        user1       foo
        user1       bar
        user2       foo

the SQL query should retrieve user1 but not user2 since user2 has ‘foo’ but does not have ‘bar’

Answer 1

Try:

select firstname
    ,lastname
from users
where lastname in('foo','bar')
group by firstname
HAVING count(*) = 2

(works if not allowed to have multiple foos or bars on a firstname)

or

SELECT u1.firstname
FROM users u1
INNER JOIN users u2
    ON u1.firstname = u2.firstname
    AND u1.lastname = 'foo'
    AND u2.lastname = 'bar'
GROUP BY u1.firstname
