I'm trying to SELECT, and get a unique result set, from a MySQL database, as shown below. My problem is, I think, I don't understand LEFT Joins well enough. Or, maybe I need to use a different Join approach.
Here's a description of the database.
tbAdult (Adults) have x number of tbchild (Children) , and uses a cross-ref table called tbadultchildxref. This table has an f-key to both Adult and Child. I have to use an x-ref table, because there's a many-to-many relationship between these two tables, and there's other data that's keep in the x-ref, which I have removed for simplicity.
In turn, each Child belongs to a Program (tblprogram).
Each Program has x number of Cameras (tblCamera). Again, I have to use an x-ref table between tblProgram and tblCamera due to a many-to-many relationship, and other reasons.
What I am trying to get at, is a unique list of Cameras for a given Parent.
For example, Parent 675 has three children, Child ID's 789,788, and 789. Those three children, in turn, belong to Program ID's 4, 5, and 6.
Program ID 4 has Camera ID's 1,2,3 Program ID 5 has Camera ID's 4,5,6 Program ID 6 has Camera ID's 1,6,7,8
What I would like the result set to be is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
I have tried different combinations of SELECT DISTINCT, LEFT JOINS on the various x-ref tables, etc. but I just can't seem to get it.
My other problem, along the way, is I need to check the "Active" fields in Adult, Child, and Program to equal = 1 (true) for the result set.
Thanks in advance.
