Hello people,
Here's my USER table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `username` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `expiry` varchar(6) NOT NULL, `contact_id` int(11) NOT NULL, `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `level` int(3) NOT NULL, `active` tinyint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1', PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`email`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
And here's my contact_info table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `contact_info` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `email_address` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `company_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `license_number` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `phone` varchar(30) NOT NULL, `fax` varchar(30) NOT NULL, `mobile` varchar(30) NOT NULL, `category` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `country` varchar(20) NOT NULL, `state` varchar(20) NOT NULL, `city` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `postcode` varchar(50) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`email_address`), ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
The system uses username to login users.I want to modify it in such a way that it uses email for login. But there's no email_address in users table.
I have added foreign key - email in user table(which is email_address in contact_info).
How should I query database?
