Question

This works fine for player1name but how do I solve player2name?

While I’m at it, let me know if you know any useful visual query builders 😉

SELECT 
_game.player1,
_user.username AS player1name,
_game.player2,
_user.username AS player2name,
FROM _game
LEFT JOIN _user ON _game.player1 = _user.id

Answer 1

I don’t have mySQL running ATM, but it should be something like…

SELECT 
player1,
u1.username AS player1name,
 player2,
u2.username AS player2name,
FROM _game
INNER JOIN _user u1 ON _headsup.player1 = u1.id
INNER JOIN _user u2 ON _headsup.player2 = u2.id

i.e. alias on the join, use the alias in the select.

However, I’m at a loss as to where _headsup comes from!
