How to get records that match value or exist in another table?

Question

I am trying to figure out how to get all tasks in this case that two of the fields equal a certain value or they exist in the other table?

Here is the query:

<         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried using a join?

SELECT TASKS.task_id, 
       TASKS.task_title, 
       TASKS.task_description, 
       TASKS.task_assigned_name, 
       TASKS.task_assigned_phone_number, 
       TASKS.task_due_date_time, 
       TASKS.task_category
FROM TASKS
JOIN WATCHERS on WATCHERS.task_id = TASK.task_id
WHERE TASKS.task_complete = 1 AND 
  (TASKS.task_creator_id = ? OR 
   TASKS.task_assigned_user_id = ? OR
   WATCHERS.watcher_user_id = ?);

I'm not sure if that's the logic you are looking for.

besides the extra where in your query, looks like you may have an extra closed parenthesis.
