I'm flummoxed on this one. I have a class that's building a query which
selects data from 1-n tables based on a common indexed id, io_id. These
tables may contain 1-n rows of data keyed on io_id. What I want the
query to do is return nulls for replicated columns rather than just
replicating them.
Here's the (relevant) data:
opt_io_vegetables_id:
id | io_id | opt_val
----+-------+---------
27 | 274 | 1
28 | 274 | 3
29 | 274 | 5
30 | 274 | 7
opt_io_fruits_id:
id | io_id | opt_val
----+-------+---------
12 | 274 | 9
opt_io_name_text:
id | io_id | opt_val
----+-------+---------------------------------
12 | 274 | Text... text... text... text...
I have this query:
SELECT
A.opt_val,
B.opt_val,
C.opt_val
FROM
IO io
INNER JOIN opt_io_vegetables_id A ON io.id = A.io_id
INNER JOIN opt_io_fruits_id B ON io.id = B.io_id
INNER JOIN opt_io_name_text C ON io.id = C.io_id
WHERE
io.id = 274;
It returns:
opt_val | opt_val | opt_val
---------+---------+---------------------------------
1 | 9 | Text... text... text... text...
3 | 9 | Text... text... text... text...
5 | 9 | Text... text... text... text...
7 | 9 | Text... text... text... text...
What I'd *like* the query to do for the replicated columns in $col[1]
and $col[2] is return nulls.
Is there any way to do this?
