MYSQL query syntax

I'd like to export the combined results of two queries to CSV. The export to csv is not an issue.

I need help writing the query which will give me all the results I need. I'm using MySQLWorkbench.

I have some rows from this query:

SELECT * FROM iq.item where grouping_id='334' && class='D';

Open in new window


Then under each result, I would like to list the results from another query:

SELECT * FROM iq.comment where item_id = 2294;

Open in new window


where 'item_id' is the 'id' from the first query. there are multiple rows for each row in the first query.

I'm guessing these have to be joined?

Both tables have a date_created column, which I don't want to duplicate, as well as a content column, which is named differently. One is called 'description' and the second is called 'content'. I would like these two to become one column.

Please let me know if I need to clarify anything else.
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

SELECT * 
FROM iq.item i LEFT JOIN
  iq.comment c ON i.id = c.item_id

where i.grouping_id='334' && i.class='D';

Open in new window

yes,  the query i wrote,  i make shortcuts to the tables

iq. items is now just i
and iq.comment is now just c
so in select if you want fields from i and from c you cad do

select i.field1,  i.timefield, i.someotherfield, c.fieldsomething

from.....


or you can use the asterisk  * to select everything

Select * from..

or you can use table.asterisk to select all columns from just one table

select c.*, i.id, i.timestamp
from...


just remember to separe them by commas
