timetable store id which partner group together

Now, I need to join these 2 tables together and display their name

Answer 1

your explanation is not clear. But here is my guess:

SELECT 
  u.name,
  p.name,
  t.time 
FROM timetable t
LEFT JOIN user u
ON timetable.id = u.id
LEFT JOIN user p
ON timetable.partner = p.id
WHERE timetable.id = 1
