hi there...
i'm having trouble with my first join. here's what i've got:
table games
gam_name varchar(100)
gam_developer int
gam_publisher int
table companies
com_id
com_name
gam_developer and gam_publisher contain an int matching a com_id.
there are other things, but this is the gist: both gam_developer and
gam_publisher refer to the "companies" table. i need to do a select
that will return any subset of games, but with the company names
rather than their id numbers.
so i would get back:
Game 1 | Cool Games, Inc. | Cool Publisher, Inc.
Game 2 | Other Games, Inc. | Other Publishing, Inc.
etc.
i am suspecting i need to do some kind of join, but i'm having
difficulty understanding the concept. can someone help out?
cheers,
