I have two tables:
**projects**
|Equity_holders| Financer |
|--------------|-----------|
|Company 1 | Company 7 |
|Company 2 | Company 9 |
|Company 3 | Company 4 |
**entities**
|name | country |
|-------------|---------|
|Company 1 | USA |
|Company 2 | Italy |
|Company 3 | UK |
|Company 4 | Nigeria|
|Company 5 | Brazil |
|Company 6 | China |
|Company 7 | France |
|Company 8 | China |
|Company 9 | Germany|
I want my display table to look like:
|Equity_holders| country |Financer | country |
|--------------|---------|-------------|---------|
|Company 1 | USA |Company 4 | Nigeria|
|Company 2 | Italy |Company 7 | France |
|Company 3 | UK |Company 9 | Germany|
I've successfully used INNER JOIN to match the 'Equity holder' column with Entities name and display the corresponding 'country':
SELECT projects.Equity_holders,entities.country, projects.Financer,entities.country
FROM projects
INNER JOIN entities ON projects.Equity_holders LIKE CONCAT('%', entities.name, '%')
INNER JOIN entities A ON projects.Financer LIKE CONCAT('%', entities.name, '%' )
But can't get the 'Financer' column to display the right corresponding country. It just duplicates the 'Equity_Holders' column. I have a feeling its a problem with the select query but can't figure what to change.
You can try below - you need to alias your 2nd entities e1 and use e1.country as country1
SELECT projects.Equity_holders,entities.country, projects.Financer,e1.country
FROM projects
INNER JOIN entities ON projects.Equity_holders=entities.name
INNER JOIN entities e1 ON projects.Financer=e1.name
