I have an android application that has 2 tables, one table stores posts and the other table stores images of the posts incase it has an image, changes are not all posts will hav
ok, you asked, so give this a whirl, see if you like the output
SELECT pt.post_id, pt.post, pt.post_description, im.imagePath
FROM PostTable pt
left join ImageTable im
on im.fk_postID=pt.post_id
It will bring along for the ride the right table (ImageTable) of those posts that don't have images.
Uses table aliases (pt
and im
). That helps to be explicit which table the columns come from on the first line in case there are common column names in both, plus a little less typing.
