Say I've got two tables. One contains a list of items, and one contains pictures of the items.
Something like this:
Items
+----+---------+
| id | name |
+----+---------+
| 1 | oranges |
| 2 | apples |
+----+---------+
Pictures
+----+---------+
| id | item_id |
+----+---------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 |
+----+---------+
My question is this: is it possible in a single query to select item 2
from Items
and join all the rows in the Pictures
table whose item_id
references that same id?
I am sure I've tried almost everything I can think of, but nothing is coming to mind. I apologize if the answer to this is simple, but It's just escaping me right now.
