I have a query as follow: (shows are a table with tv shows and IMDB ID and recommended_titles is a table with two columns with IMDB_ID)
Select t2.* from shows t, shows t2, recommended_titles WHERE
t.imdb_id = recommended_titles. title_id_1
AND recommended_titles.title_id_2=t2.imdb_id
AND t.imdb_id = 0367279 LIMIT 7
The query is fine but I realized that it was only checking in the first column for my imdb id when it can also appear in my second one. So i try to add the following:
OR
recommended_titles.title_id_2=t.imdb_id
AND t.imdb_id = recommended_titles. title_id_1
AND t.imdb_id = 0367279 LIMIT 7
But apparently OR can't be used with AND,
any suggestions as how I should do this ?
Edit: To explain what I'm trying to do, here's a quick example in case my explanations above are too confusing. table shows has rows like this:
name of a tv show | 00001
name of another | 00002
name of another | 00003
table recommended titles has (notice that an ID can be in either column)
00001 | 00002
00002 | 00003
You may look at operator precedence in mysql (and see that AND has an higher precedence than OR), or use parenthesis (much easier to use and maintain)
(t.imdb_id = recommended_titles.title_id_1 OR
recommended_titles.title_id_2=t.imdb_id)
AND recommended_titles.title_id_2=t2.imdb_id
AND t.imdb_id = 0367279 LIMIT 7
