How to select data from two tables using a single query

Question

I\'ve been trying to get my head around how to use a single query to select data from two of my tables. If anybody can suggest a better way than a single query, I\'m all ears! P

Answer 1

A JOIN should work.

SELECT * FROM member, networking WHERE member.ID=2 AND member.networkingID=networking.ID

This will return an empty result if there's no networking data for member.ID=2. If you want to get a result in this case, you can try LEFT JOIN.

SELECT * FROM member LEFT JOIN networking ON member.networkingID=networking.ID WHERE member.ID=2
