 8            6        ipad pro

My question is:

How can I display all products, when user selected mobile category ?

I have nothing to do with the subcategories, I want all products to be displayed when the mobile or tablet category is selected.

thanks

One option uses a recursive query to recover the "mobile" category and all of its descendants, and then brings the products table with a join:

with cte as (
    select nid from tbl_category where name = 'mobile'
    union all
    select ca.nid from cte ct inner join tbl_category ca on ca.parentid = ct.nid
)
select p.*
from tbl_productions p
inner join cte ct on ct.nid = p.nid
