How can I correct the problem I keep getting from the code below which states 'user_id' in where clause is ambiguous
. Thanks for the help in advance.
Here is the mysql table.
SELECT user.*, user_info.*
FROM user
INNER JOIN user_info ON user.user_id = user_info.user_id
WHERE user_id='$user_id'
You simply need to specify which user_id
to use, since both the user_info
and user
table have a field called user_id
:
... WHERE user.user_id='$user_id'
SQL wouldn't tolerate this ambiguity, since for what it knows, both fields can represent totally different data.
The solution is to select each column explicitly everywhere. Don't use user.* and user_info.* in your select list, either:
SELECT u.user_id, u.user_fudge, ui.foo, ui.bar
FROM user u
INNER JOIN user_info ui
ON ui.user_id = u.user_id
WHERE u.user_id = '$user_id';
Try this.
SELECT u.user_id, u.user_fudge, ui.foo, ui.bar
FROM user AS u
INNER JOIN user_info AS ui
ON ui.user_id = u.user_id
WHERE u.user_id = '$user_id';
You should be mention alias name of your column and assign to user_id like
SELECT user.*, user_info.*
FROM user as u
INNER JOIN user_info as ui ON u.user_id = ui.user_id
WHERE u.user_id='$user_id'
