Hello,
In a web app (Pg 8.2.4 + php) I have product and other tables with fields like
product_created timestamp without time zone
product_created_user_id integer
product_last_mod timestamp without time zone
product_last_mod_user_id integer
The person who last modified an item can obviously be someone else who
originally created it.
I can get the names and timestamps with two separate queries but how can I do
a single query to get the names of both ?
product_id | 1
...
product_created_user_id | 1
product_last_mod_user_id | 2
ID 1, created by X / date and time, last_mod by Y / date and time
And a similar query to only one table, users ?
user_id integer
user_forename text
...
user_created timestamp without time zone
user_created_user_id integer
user_last_mod timestamp without time zone
user_last_mod_user_id integer
ID 4, name Z, created by X / date and time, last_mod by Y / date and time
Join, sub select ? I tried some but only managed to get only one name, errors,
nothing at all or two rows with inner join + union ...
Lotsa thanks for any help,
Aarni
