It will be something like this:
SELECT b.Title, b.Edition, b.Year, b.Pages, b.Rating, c.Category, p.Publisher, w.LastName
FROM
Books b
JOIN Categories_Book cb ON cb._ISBN = b._Books_ISBN
JOIN Category c ON c._CategoryID = cb._Categories_Category_ID
JOIN Publishers p ON p._PublisherID = b.PublisherID
JOIN Writers_Books wb ON wb._Books_ISBN = b._ISBN
JOIN Writer w ON w._WritersID = wb._Writers_WriterID
You use the join
statement to indicate which fields from table A map to table B. I’m using aliases here thats why you see Books b
the Books
table will be referred to as b
in the rest of the query. This makes for less typing.
FYI your naming convention is very strange, I would expect it to be more like this:
Book: ID, ISBN , BookTitle, Edition, Year, PublisherID, Pages, Rating
Category: ID, [Name]
BookCategory: ID, CategoryID, BookID
Publisher: ID, [Name]
Writer: ID, LastName
BookWriter: ID, WriterID, BookID
