Self Joins in Mysql... How would I self join this table?

Question

How would I self join a table to show the Name, employee number, manager's name of those who are managed by either Blake or Jones ?

I'm trying to line it up in the following manner:

SELECT
FROM
INNER JOIN
ON
WHERE

The problem I am having is I have understood MySQL very well up until now, and I cannot seem to grasp the concept of the table joining itself.... any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

MySQL self join that joins a table to itself using join

SELECT * 
FROM table1 AS t1 
INNER JOIN table1 AS t2 
ON t1.col_name=t2.col_name 
WHERE t1.col_name='xyz'

Answer 2

select t1.name,t1.employee_number,t1.manager_name from table t1 join

table t2 where t1.manager_name = t2. manager_name and t2.manager_name in

 ('Blake','Jones');
