So, I'm receiving the following error from Laravel framework; but I couldn't find why this framework is producing this error:
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1066 Not unique table/alias: 'participants' (SQL: select `participants`.*, `participants`.`message_id` as `pivot_message_id`, `participants`.`user_id` as `pivot_user_id`, `participants`.`created_at` as `pivot_created_at`, `participants`.`updated_at` as `pivot_updated_at` from `participants` inner join `participants` on `participants`.`id` = `participants`.`user_id` where `participants`.`deleted_at` is null and `participants`.`message_id` in (2))
My message/participants relationship looks like this:
public function participants()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Namespace\Modules\Email\Models\Participant', 'participants', 'message_id', 'user_id')->withTimestamps();
}
and I'm trying to call it like this:
public function getAllMessages()
{
return Message::with('user')->with('participants')->get();
}
Why am I getting this error? What's going on?

Answered via the Larachat official Slack:
The relationship is missing a pivot table for this to work. The second argument in the participants method is the pivot table to use:
public function participants()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Namespace\Modules\Email\Models\Participant', 'PIVOT', 'message_id', 'user_id')->withTimestamps();
}
Therefore, you can't use participants as the pivot because it is one of the tables in the relationship, you need a message_participant pivot table.
Your error is
...from `participants` inner join `participants` ...
You need to provide aliases for each reference, as in
...from `participants` p1 inner join `participants` p2 ...
and then use p1 and p2 in the correct places, for example
...on p1.`id` = p2.`user_id` ...
(I'm guessing on which is p1 and which is p2; you have to make that determination)
