Mysql – selecting rows with id from another table

databasemysqlsql

Let's call this table terms_relation:

+---------+----------+-------------+------------+------------+--+
| term_id | taxonomy | description | created_at | updated_at |  |
+---------+----------+-------------+------------+------------+--+
|       1 | categ    | non         | 3434343434 |   34343433 |  |
|       2 | categ    | non         | 3434343434 | 3434343434 |  |
|       3 | tag      | non         | 3434343434 | 3434343434 |  |
|       4 | tag      | non         | 3434343434 | 3434343434 |  |
+---------+----------+-------------+------------+------------+--+

And this is table terms:

+----+-------------+-------------+
| id |    name     |    slug     |
+----+-------------+-------------+
|  1 | hello       | hello       |
|  2 | how are you | how-are-you |
|  3 | tutorial    | tutorial    |
|  4 | the end     | the-end     |
+----+-------------+-------------+

How Do I select all rows in table terms and table terms_relation where it's taxonomy in table terms_relation is categ? Will I need two queries for this or I could use a join statement?

Best Solution

Try this (subquery):

SELECT * FROM terms WHERE id IN 
   (SELECT term_id FROM terms_relation WHERE taxonomy = "categ")

Or you can try this (JOIN):

SELECT t.* FROM terms AS t 
   INNER JOIN terms_relation AS tr 
   ON t.id = tr.term_id AND tr.taxonomy = "categ"

If you want to receive all fields from two tables:

SELECT t.id, t.name, t.slug, tr.description, tr.created_at, tr.updated_at 
  FROM terms AS t 
   INNER JOIN terms_relation AS tr 
   ON t.id = tr.term_id AND tr.taxonomy = "categ"
