tricky SQL when joining
- by Erik
I've two tables, shows and objects. I want to print out the latest objects, and the shownames for them. Right now I'm doing it this way:
SELECT MAX(objects.id) as max_id, shows.name, shows.id
FROM shows, objects
WHERE shows.id = objects.showId
GROUP BY shows.name
however, if I also want to fetch the episode of the object I can't put it like SELECT object.episode [...], because then wont automatically select the object which is MAX(objects.id), so my question is how to do that?
If you haven't already figured out my tables they're like this:
Shows
id
name
and also:
Objects
id
name
episode
season
showId
Using MySQL. Thanks!
