Joining Multiple database problem :( - El Forum - 02-23-2009

Hi,
I am new to CI.I have two database.
I call the databases by the following means
$this->db1... and $this->db2...
if I put a query like this (Joining two database in a join query)
$sql = 'SELECT DB1.DBTable1.user_id FROM DB1.DBTable1
LEFT JOIN DB1.DBTable2 on DB1.DBTable2.user_id = DB1.DBTable1.user_id
LEFT JOIN DB2.DBTable1 on DB2.DBTable1.email = DB1.DBTable2.user_email WHERE .......'
and i run the query by,$this->db->query($sql);
it shows the 1142 error. (i.e) SELECT command denied to user 'username'@localhost for table 'DB2.DBTable1'.
Thanks.

I don't believe you can join two tables from two separate databases. If you need to join them, they should be in the same database.

Wow. You learn something new everyday...
Would I be right in assuming that you are accessing your localhost database with a root account? If so, that will probably be what your problem is.

It doesn't need to be a root account, just an account that is allowed to access the two databases.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that, but my point was, it might explain why it works on localhost and not on his remote server.

I'm not sure but i think the problem is the fact that the active database is set by the database class configuration. If the account has enough permissions you only have to provide a connection.
So i think the solution is to go php native and do
Code:
function get_userids()
{
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
$sql = ‘SELECT DB1.DBTable1.user_id FROM DB1.DBTable1
LEFT JOIN DB1.DBTable2 on DB1.DBTable2.user_id = DB1.DBTable1.user_id
LEFT JOIN DB2.DBTable1 on DB2.DBTable1.email = DB1.DBTable2.user_email WHERE .......’;
$query = mysql_query($sql);
$rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
mysql_close($link);
return $rows;

And a semi-colon to the end of the query string.
