Single value data to multiple values of data in database relation
- by Sofiane Merah
I have such a hard time picturing this. I just don't have the brain to do it.
I have a table called reports.
---------------------------------------------
| report_id | set_of_bads | field1 | field2 |
---------------------------------------------
| 123 | set1 | qwe | qwe |
---------------------------------------------
| 321 | 123112 | ewq | ewq |
---------------------------------------------
I have another table called bads. This table contains a list of bad data.
-------------------------------------
| bad_id | set_it_belongs_to | field2 | field3 |
-------------------------------------
| 1 | set1 | qwe | qwe |
-------------------------------------
| 2 | set1 | qee | tte |
-------------------------------------
| 3 | set1 | q44w | 3qwe |
-------------------------------------
| 4 | 234 | qoow | 3qwe |
-------------------------------------
Now I have set the first field of every table as the primary key. My question is, how do I connect the field set_of_bads to set_it_belongs_to in the bads table. This way if I want to get the entire set of data that is set1 by calling on the reports table I can do it.
Example: hey reports table.. bring up the row that has the report_id 123. Okay thank you.. Now get all the rows from bads that has the set_of_bads value from the row with the report_id 123. Thanks.
