I have two queries I would like to combine into one.
I have a table that represents a user's contacts. It has fields like "id, owner_id, user_id". Owner ID cannot be null but user_id can be null. They are numeric field, the ID is just generated.
I want a query to retrieve all of a user's contacts but add in a field to know if there is a mutual relationship between the contact owner.
I get all of a user's contacts like this:
SELECT c.* FROM contacts c WHERE c.owner_id = :id;
I can then get all contacts that have the owner as a user like this:
SELECT c.* FROM contacts c WHERE EXISTS(
SELECT 1 FROM contacts c2 WHERE c2.user_id = c.owner_id AND c2.owner_id = c.user_id)
AND c.owner_id = 1;
But what I'd like is to have the EXISTS clause of the second query to show up as a BOOLEAN field in the result set. I don't want it to scope the results, just tell me for each contact of the owner, do they also have her as a contact?
I tried this but it didn't work:
SELECT c.*, EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM contacts c2 WHERE c2.owner_id = c1.user_id AND c2.user_id = c1.owner_id)
WHERE c.owner_id = :owner;
Thanks!
