I'm trying to do a MySQL request to retreive a 2 level menu (parent and children)...
There's only 1 table, of course :
idCategory | Title | idCategoryParent | DisplayOrder
1 | cat1 | NULL | 1
2 | sub-cat1 | 1 | 1
3 | sub-cat2 | 1 | 2
4 | cat2 | NULL | 2
5 | sub-cat3 | 4 | 1
6 | sub-cat4 | 4 | 2
7 | cat3 | NULL | 3
I'm looking for those results :
titleCat | titleSubCat | idCategory
cat1 | sub-cat1 | 1
cat1 | sub-cat2 | 1
cat2 | sub-cat3 | 4
cat2 | sub-cat4 | 4
cat3 | NULL | 7
OR something like that would be fine too :
cat1 | null | 1
cat1 | sub-cat1 | 1
cat1 | sub-cat2 | 1
etc..
I tried with something like :
SELECT subcat.title as catTitle, cat.title as parentTitle, subcat.idCategory as catIdCategory, subcat.idCategoryParent
FROM `test_category` as cat
RIGHT OUTER JOIN test_category as subcat ON cat.idCategory=subcat.idCategoryParent
Doesn't work bad but I struggle trying to order the records...
Here's the SQL Dump if you want to try it :
--
-- Table structure for table `test_category`
--
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test_category` (
`idCategory` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`idCategoryParent` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`title` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
`order` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`idCategory`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=8 ;
--
-- Dumping data for table `test_category`
--
INSERT INTO `test_category` (`idCategory`, `idCategoryParent`, `title`, `order`) VALUES
(1, NULL, 'cat1', 1),
(2, 1, 'sub-cat1', 1),
(3, 1, 'sub-cat2', 2),
(4, NULL, 'cat2', 2),
(5, 4, 'sub-cat3', 1),
(6, 4, 'sub-cat4', 2),
(7, NULL, 'cat3', 3);
Thanks! :)
