Here goes:

T1
[id] [desc]
 1    lovely
 2    ugly
 3    slender

T2
[id] [userid] [vote]
 1      1       3
 1      2       5
 1      3       2
 2      1       1
 2      2       4
 2      3       4

In one query (if possible) I'd like to return:

T1.id, T1.desc, AVG(T2.vote), T2.vote (for user viewing the page)

I can get the first 3 items with:

SELECT T1.id, T1.desc, AVG(T2.vote)
FROM T1
LEFT JOIN T2 ON T1.id=T2.id
GROUP BY T1.id

and I can get the first, second, and fourth items with:

SELECT T1.id, T1.desc, T2.vote
FROM T1
LEFT JOIN T2 ON T1.id=T2.id
WHERE T2.userid='1'
GROUP BY T1.id

but I'm at a loss as to how to get all four items in one query. I tried inserting a select as the fourth term:

SELECT T1.id, T1.desc, AVG(T2.vote), (SELECT T2.vote FROM T2 WHERE T2.userid='1') AS userVote etc etc

but I get an error that the select returns more than one row...

Help?

My reason for wanting to do this in one query instead of two is that I want to be able to sort the data within MySQL rather than one it's been split into a number of arrays.
