SQL selecting and joining two values from table into another table

Question

I have two tables, "teams" and "matches". I want to select and replace two team ID's from matches table with actual team names. I am able to get only one team name and I am not sure how I could select two.

SELECT m.*, t.teamId, t.teamName FROM matches AS m
JOIN teams AS t ON m.homeTeam = t.teamId

Matches Table

ID*
Date
homeTeam (id)
awayTeam (id)

Teams Table

ID*
Name

Answer 1

You need to join your teams table twice. Once for each team entry in your matches table. It should look something like this

SELECT 
  m.id
  , m.date
  , h.teamId as homeTeamID
  , h.teamName as homeTeamName
  , a.teamId as awayTeamID
  , a.teamName as awayTeamName
FROM 
  matches AS m
  JOIN teams AS h -- home team 
    ON m.homeTeam = h.teamId
  JOIN teams AS a -- away team
    on m.awayTeam = a.teamId

I've had to guess what you named the fields, but this should be enough to get you started.
