Mysql query to join three tables

Question

I am using this query:

SELECT a.sales_id, d.bus_title, a.cat_id
FROM tbl_sales a
INNER JOIN tb_category b ON a.cat_id = b.cat_id
INNER JOIN tbl_business d ON         


        

Answer 1

I am not a great fan of inner joins so try this:

SELECT a.sales_id, a.cat_id, c.bus_title
FROM tb_sales_category a, tb_sales b, tbl_business c
WHERE a.sales_id = b.sales_id
AND b.bus_id = c.bus_id
