Question

users table:

id  |   win  |   lose
0   |   1    |   2
1   |   2    |   8

games table:

id  |  user1  |  user2  |  data
0   |  0      |  1      |  'some text'

The DB is for a simple multiplayer game. I need a query to get user2, data, and win-lose data for both users. Is this possible in MySQL at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You have to JOIN the table users two times like this:

SELECT
  u1.win  AS win1,
  u1.lose AS lose1,
  u2.win  AS win2,
  u2.lose AS lose2,
  ...
FROM games g
INNER JOIN users u1 ON g.user1 = u1.id
INNER JOIN users u2 ON g.user2 = u2.id
