I have two databases - one for articles and the another for the articles\' meta information (Like author, date, category and atc.). I have the following columns in meta table: I
SELECT * FROM article_table RIGHT JOIN meta_table ON article_table.article_id = meta_table.article_id;
You get repeats from the article table, but it gets all the meta data in a single query. I believe otherwise you need to use multiple.
