MySQL join-tabeller, hvor tabelnavnet er et felt i en anden tabel

Hvis du vil have alle rækker (bulk output) og ikke én række ad gangen, skal nedenstående være hurtigt, og outputtet for alle rækker vil også indeholde alle kolonner.

Select objects.*, typestable.*
from (
    select ID as oID, "mobile" as otype, M1, M2, NULL T1, NULL T2, NULL C1, NULL C2 from obj_mobiles 
    union all
    select ID as oID, "tablet" as otype, NULL, NULL, T1, T2, NULL, NULL from obj_tablets 
    union all
    select ID as oID, "computer" as otype, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, C1, C2 from obj_computers) as typestable 
        left join objects on typestable.oID = objects.ID and typestable.otype = objects.type;

+------+--------------------+----------+------+----------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
| ID   | name               | type     | ID   | type     | M1   | M2   | T1   | T2   | C1   | C2   |

Tabellen oprettes som nedenfor.

mysql> create table objects (ID int, name varchar(50), type varchar (15));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
mysql> insert into objects values (1, "Samsung Galaxy s2", "mobile"), (2, "Samsung Galaxy Tab", "tablet"), (3, "Dell Inspiron", "computer");
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 3  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0


mysql> create table obj_mobiles (ID int, M1 int, M2 varchar(10));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> insert into obj_mobiles values (1, 0.98, "Thin");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)


mysql> create table obj_tablets (ID int, T1 float, T2 int(10));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> insert into obj_tablets values (2, 0.98, 10);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)


mysql> create table obj_computers (ID int, C1 float, C2 int(10));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
insert into obj_computers values (3, 4.98, 1000);

også for at bekræfte, at datatyperne for kolonnerne er de samme som de originale kolonner, gemmes resultatet i en tabel, og datatyperne er markeret nedenfor.
