MySQL Limit with Many to Many Relationship

Question

Given a SCHEMA for implementing tags

ITEM ItemId, ItemContent

TAG TagId, TagName

ITEM_TAG ItemId, TagId

What is the best way to limit the number

Answer 1

Maybe something like

select i.ItemContent, t.TagName from (SELECT ItemId, ItemContent FROM item limit 10) i
INNER JOIN ItemTag it ON i.ItemId = it.ItemId --You will miss tagless items here!
INNER JOIN tag t ON t.id = it.TagId
