MySQL循环或嵌套查询

Question

Say I have a table friends

user_1  |  user_2  

Then, say I want to see what these friends have been up to, so I check the posts table and updates table

post_id  | post_title | post_message |  user_id | timestamp

update_id | title | userid | timestamp

I want to achieve logic like the following : Get list of friends, go through this list of generated friends to see if they have added anything, sorted by the most recent activities first (timestamp).

Select user_1 from friends where user_2 = '$my_userid'
union
Select user_2 from friends where user_1 = '$my_userid'

//now loop through each of these friends and check the update/post tables to see if they have added anything recently

Can I do this all through 1 MySQL query, or do I have to break it up and use PHP?

Answer 1

post_id | post_title | post_message | user_id | timestamp - Table_A

update_id | title | userid | timestamp - Table_B

Try the below query

SELECT A.*, B.* FROM Table_A AS A JOIN Table_B AS B ON B.userid = A.user_id
WHERE A.user_id IN (100,101,102) 
ORDER BY B.timestamp DESC;

A.* - will get you all the columns from the table A. If you want specific column A.post_id .

You can number of results by adding a LIMIT clause.

Note : I assume 100,101,102 are the user ids generated. You can add the user ids within the IN Clause.

Update

Put the user ids you need in the IN clause if you want to limit the friends. if not remove the where clause, so you can get the updates of all the friends without a limitation. You can order by any column you need. You can do ORDER BY A.user_id , A.post_id, Even multiple columns are possible
