左联接两个表，多列

Question

I need to left join two tables: Cardealers and Applications .

I want to see which cardealers have received which applications.

Each application is forwarded to three cardealers thus my table structure is having these 3 columns: receiver_1 , receiver_2 , receiver_3 .

Where the ID in the receiver columns is the same as the cardealer_id .

I have this code functioning for ONE and one column only:

$res1 = $wpdb->get_results( " SELECT leads.*, cardealers.*
    FROM leads
    LEFT JOIN cardealers ON leads.receiver_1 = cardealers.cardealer_id
    WHERE leads.receiver_1 = cardealers.cardealer_id
    AND cardealers.cardealer_id = '". $cardealer_id ."'" );

$res2 = $wpdb->get_results( " SELECT leads.*, cardealers.*
    FROM leads
    LEFT JOIN cardealers ON leads.receiver_2 = cardealers.cardealer_id
    WHERE leads.receiver_2 = cardealers.cardealer_id
    AND cardealers.cardealer_id = '". $cardealer_id ."'" ); 

$res3 = $wpdb->get_results( " SELECT leads.*, cardealers.*
    FROM leads
    LEFT JOIN cardealers ON leads.receiver_3 = cardealers.cardealer_id
    WHERE leads.receiver_3 = cardealers.cardealer_id
    AND cardealers.cardealer_id = '". $cardealer_id ."'" );

As you can see I do 3 separate statements which all works. But I want to combine these into one statement.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Just keep adding the tables and alias them.

SELECT 
   leads.*, cardealers1.*, cardealers2.*, cardealers3* 
FROM leads 
LEFT JOIN cardealers as cardealers1
   ON leads.receiver_1 = cardealers1.cardealer_id 
LEFT JOIN cardealers as cardealers2
   ON leads.receiver_2 = cardealers2.cardealer_id
LEFT JOIN cardealers as cardealers3
   ON leads.receiver_3 = cardealers3.cardealer_id
WHERE 
   leads.receiver_1 = cardealers1.cardealer_id 
   AND leads.receiver_2 = cardealers2.cardealer_id 
   AND leads.receiver_3 = cardealers3.cardealer_id 
   AND cardealers.cardealer_id = '". $cardealer_id ."'

EDIT: it's best if you give an alias for the columns from each of the cardealers
