And another table having the following column

account_id           rank
123                  4
124                  5
234                  1

What i want is to get the following results

sender_account_id   rank   receiver_account_id    rank
123                 4      234                    1
124                 5      235                    7

Please any help....

The query i tried is

SELECT * 
FROM (

SELECT kudosent.sender_account_id, account.kudo_rank
FROM kudosent
INNER JOIN account ON kudosent.sender_account_id = account.account_id
WHERE kudosent.sender_account_id =337
) AS A
LEFT JOIN (

SELECT kudosent.sender_account_id AS b1id, kudosent.receiver_account_id, account.kudo_rank
FROM kudosent
INNER JOIN account ON kudosent.receiver_account_id = account.account_id
WHERE kudosent.sender_account_id =337
) AS B ON A.sender_account_id = B.B1id
UNION (

SELECT * 
FROM (

SELECT kudosent.sender_account_id, account.kudo_rank
FROM kudosent
INNER JOIN account ON kudosent.sender_account_id = account.account_id
WHERE kudosent.sender_account_id =337
) AS A
RIGHT JOIN (

SELECT kudosent.sender_account_id AS B2id, kudosent.receiver_account_id, account.kudo_rank
FROM kudosent
INNER JOIN account ON kudosent.receiver_account_id = account.account_id
WHERE kudosent.sender_account_id =337
) AS B ON A.sender_account_id = B.B2id
)

it works well with where clauses but if i remove them the query runs forever

Answer 1

You need to use JOIN the another table 2 times something as

select 
t1.sender_account_id,
t2.rank as sender_rank,
t1.receiver_account_id,
t3.rank as receiver_rank 
from table1 t1
join table2 t2 on t1.sender_account_id = t2.account_id 
join table2 t3 on t1.receiver_account_id = t3.account_id

Here is a demo

Change the table names in the query as per your table name and it should work.

UPDATE The following query should do the trick, your query is pretty messed up

select 
t1.sender_account_id,
t2.rank as sender_rank,
t1.receiver_account_id,
t3.rank as receiver_rank 
from kudosent t1
join account t2 on t1.sender_account_id = t2.account_id 
join account t3 on t1.receiver_account_id = t3.account_id
