SQL Query to return multiple data from inner join

Question

I have two database table, one is registerd user table and the other one is chat message table. I want to list users that have conversion in chat message table. The below sql query does it but it show the active user name as on the list instead of the party user.

## Table users_account

reg_userid | Name
--------------------------
1          | Peter   
2          | John   

Table chatroom_message

userid_a | userid_b
--------------------------
1          | 2   
3          | 1

SQL

SELECT * FROM chatroom_message cm
INNER JOIN users_account ua ON cm.userid_a = ua.reg_userid 
WHERE cm.userid_a = :chat_client
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM chatroom_message cm
INNER JOIN users_account ua ON cm.userid_b = ua.reg_userid 
WHERE cm.userid_b = :chat_client

Current Session User Id = 1 (Peter) , so when i run above sql query it return below table

Resault

reg_userid | Name
--------------------------
1          | Peter   

My problem is how do i run an sql query to check if the active user is in chat message userid_a OR userid_b
If the result is found let it return the name of the chat party which is John , as his contact chat list, same goes to John When he login the result will also show him Peter not his own now

I want my result be John login to his account the name of Peter will show as his chat partner.

reg_userid | Name
--------------------------
1          | Peter  

I want my result be Peter login to his account the name of John will show as his chat partner.

reg_userid | Name
--------------------------
2          | John   

Answer 1

I guess you are almost there. This is probably what you are looking for:

SELECT ua.reg_userid, ua.name FROM chatroom_message cm
INNER JOIN users_account ua ON cm.userid_b = ua.reg_userid 
WHERE cm.userid_a = :chat_client
UNION ALL
SELECT ua.reg_userid, ua.name  FROM chatroom_message cm
INNER JOIN users_account ua ON cm.userid_a = ua.reg_userid 
WHERE cm.userid_b = :chat_client

Answer 2

I think this command can serve you

SELECT cm.*, 
      ua.reg_userid, ua.Name ,
      ua2.reg_userid, ua2.Name
   FROM chatroom_message cm
          INNER JOIN users_account ua 
                  ON cm.userid_a = ua.reg_userid 
          INNER JOIN users_account ua2 
                  ON cm.userid_b = ua2.reg_userid
    WHERE cm.userid_a = :chat_client
