Subject:new user to mysql
View as plain text  
Hello,
	I'm really new to this SQL things, I've been worked on it long
time ago. Now I have to use it again and I need some advice. I have 1
database which contain 4 different tables. Each table I set SSN as a
primary key (it's int(9)). It look something like this:

+--------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field  | Type            | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| name   | varchar(40)     |      |     |         |       |
| ssn    | int(9) unsigned |      | PRI | 0       |       |
| credit | int(2) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| status | char(1)         | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+--------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

+----------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field    | Type            | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| ssn      | int(9) unsigned |      | PRI | 0       |       |
| room_num | varchar(15)     |      |     |         |       |
+----------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

+-----------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field     | Type            | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| ssn       | int(9) unsigned |      | PRI | 0       |       |
| tech_name | varchar(30)     |      |     |         |       |
+-----------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

+-------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field       | Type            | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| ssn         | int(9) unsigned |      | PRI | 0       |       |
| curr_status | text            | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

Now, how can I join all this tables together? I want to be able to do
something like, for example: when I search for curtain SSN # then it will
show name, curr_status and room_num. Or display all the information. How
can I do it? Please help me getting start here. I already print out the
MySQL document but it didn't really help me much.

TIA
