SQL Use IN in the first column and returning the second

Question

I have a table called 'account_products', which have a foreign key 'product_id' and also a timestamps 'created_at'.

I also have a table called 'products'. I'm trying to return all the products that has the id equal to the same 'product_id' from the 'accout_products'. BUT I also need the 'created_at' from the 'account_products', because I want to see when they were created.

So is there a way to tell the SQL something like:

SELECT * FROM products
WHERE id IN (
    SELECT product_id, created_at FROM account_products
)

but the IN clause only relate to product_id, also returning the created_at for each column of account_products?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use a join :

SELECT p.*, ap.created_at
FROM products p JOIN
     account_products ap
     ON ap.product_id = p.id;
