mysql - Show Products That Are In Multiple Categories

Question

I cannot find an answer to this issue.

I want to be able to return a query of Virtuemart (Joomla! + Virtuemart) products that are in more than one category. There are currently 8 categories they could be in (which may grow.)

So a user could potentially select any number of categories and I want back a list of only products that are in ALL selected categories.

How could I do a query that handles this in MySQL?

Answer 1

I don't know your tables structure but this example might give you an idea.

select product
from categories
where category in ('cat1','cat2','cat3')
group by product
having count(distinct(category)) = 3
