How can I query using a foreign key in MySQL?

Question

Right now I have a small database with two tables that look something like this:

    users table
    ====================
    id  name   status_id
    1   Bo         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way would be through joins:

select *
from User u join Status s on u.status_id = s.id;

(if you dont want the status-id at all, you can specify the columns that you do want in the select-clause.)
