relationship - MySQL - Working Back Through Multiple Tables by FK -
i have database isn't of own creation. need extract specific data i'm struggling head around how data without doing multiple queries , looping on result set in code. i've looked around @ other questions haven't been able far.
my data structure (very condensed non-relevant rows , columns omitted):
mydb.source +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | id | source_type | url | +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | 10 | 3 | https://en.wikipedia.org | +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ mydb.resource +--------+------------+--------------------------------------+ | id | source_fk | identifier | +--------+------------+--------------------------------------+ | 1 | 10 | all_saints_church,_marple | +--------+------------+--------------------------------------+ mydb.item_base +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | id | resource_fk | item_title | +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | 55 | 1 | saints church, marple | +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ mydb.item +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | id | base_fk | item_description | +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+ | 120 | 55 | foo bar | +--------+-------------+--------------------------------------+
source - resource 1 many.
resource - base 1 1.
item_base - item 1 1.
what trying do?
i want few queries possible work mydb.source
find items related it. information have in hand id
source, 10. want end result set of item.id
contains source.id
10.
i think can inner join 4 tables in single query. should safe, because in order relationship exist between source , item, latter must reachable via key relationship.
select t1.id source_id, t4.* source t1 inner join resource t2 on t1.id = t2.source_fk inner join item_base t3 on t2.id = t3.resource_fk inner join item t4 on t3.id = t4.base_fk t1.id = 10
