one of the inner join doesn't have an on relationship.
As you could see in the other (longer) query I'm just trying to put in
the same row what would be
select 1,
t.Name, m.Name, m.MethodID, m.Description
from shop_commerce_shipmethods m
inner join shop_commerce_shiptypes t on m.TypeID=t.TypeID
where m.MethodID=1
+
select 1,
t.Name, m.Name, m.MethodID, m.Description
from shop_commerce_paymethods m
inner join shop_commerce_paytypes t on m.TypeID=t.TypeID
where m.MethodID=1
I don't want it to get it with a union since pay and ship are
associated.
The "natural" way to get them in one row would be to get the table
that link them shop_commerce_baskets as in the longer query.
But that query contains a lot of unions and loop etc... and I'd be
curious to see if fetching ShipMethodOnStockID, PayMethodOnStock, ...
in advance and using the above queries would make the query plan
simpler...
I'm attaching the query plan of the longer query since it is too
nested to just get pasted.
The scope of the "exercise" would be to avoid 2 scans of the
shop_commerce_baskets table.
