Re: Extend inner join to fetch not yet connected rows also

[Arup Rakshit <ar@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jan,

I was close and came up with:

SELECT
	craftsmanships.id,
	craftsmanships.name,
	CASE WHEN contractor_skills.user_id IS NULL THEN
		FALSE
	ELSE
		TRUE
	END AS has
FROM
	"craftsmanships"
	LEFT JOIN "contractor_skills" ON "contractor_skills"."craftsmanship_id" = "craftsmanships"."id"
	LEFT JOIN "users" ON "users"."id" = "contractor_skills"."user_id"
WHERE (contractor_skills.user_id = 3
	OR contractor_skills.user_id IS NULL)
ORDER BY
	"craftsmanships"."id”;

But after I read yours I found mine is doing lot of unnecessary joins. Thank you.


Thanks,
