How to make comment reply query in MYSQL?
- by Prashant
I am having comment reply (only till one level) functionality. All comments can have as many as replies but no replies can have their further replies.
So my database table structure is like below
Id ParentId Comment
1 0 this is come sample comment text
2 0 this is come sample comment text
3 0 this is come sample comment text
4 1 this is come sample comment text
5 0 this is come sample comment text
6 3 this is come sample comment text
7 1 this is come sample comment text
In the above structures, commentid, 1 (has 2 replies) and 3 (1 reply) has replies. So to fetch the comments and their replies, one simple method is first I fetch all the comments having ParentId as 0 and then by running a while loop fetch all the replies of that particular commentId. But that seems to be running hundreds of queries if I'll have around 200 comments on a particular record.
So I want to make a query which will fetch Comments with their replies sequentially as following;
Id ParentId Comment
1 0 this is come sample comment text
4 1 this is come sample comment text
7 1 this is come sample comment text
2 0 this is come sample comment text
3 0 this is come sample comment text
6 3 this is come sample comment text
5 0 this is come sample comment text
I also have a comment date column in my comment table, if anyone wants to use this with comment query.
So finally I want to fetch all the comments and their replies by using one single mysql query. Please tell me how I can do that?
Thanks
