really hope someone can help me on this one! I have 6 tables:
Products
prodid
Prodequipment
prodid
equipclassmain
equipclassor
Equipclasses
classid
Equipfunctions
equipid
classid
Equipment
equipid
Workshopequipment
workshopid
equipid
Products – a list of some products
Equipment – a list of some equipment
Prodequipment – lists what equipment is needed to do a product. You can use equipment listed in equipclassmain or replace it by equipment in equipclassor. Table Products has one to many relation to table Prodequipment, i.e. you will use many different tools (equipment) to produce one product, but you can choose to use anyone in the pair equipclassmain/equipclassor. For instance to frame a photo you can use a wooden frame or plastic frame (one pair) and a cover glass or cover plastic (second pair). You can combine it as you wish, but both pairs should be used: wooden frame with cover glass or plastic frame with cover glass or wooden frame with plastic cover or plastic frame with plastic cover.
Equipfunctions and Equipclasses – Because one piece of equipment can be used in different ways it is not linked directly to table Prodequipment. I have created table Equipclasses where all single use of every possible equipment is listed and table Equipfunctions where I list those single uses for every equipment.
Workshopequipment – lists workshops and equipment they are using.
Now I need a list of products which can be manufactured by two different given workshops (let's say workshopid = 1 and workshopid = 4), i.e. both those workshops have all equipment needed to produce those products. Bear in mind that those workhops don't have to use the same equipment to do so as I described above.
I'm trying with this query:
SELECT prodid FROM Products JOIN (
SELECT workshopid, prodlist, equipclassmain, equipclassor,
if( LOCATE( equipclassmain, prodlist ) >0
AND LOCATE( equipclassor, prodlist ) >0, 1, 0 ) AS pairstatus FROM Prodequipment JOIN
(
SELECT classid FROM Equipclasses JOIN (
SELECT classid FROM Equipfunctions JOIN (
SELECT workshopid, GROUP_CONCAT( equipid ) AS prodlist FROM Workshopequipment
GROUP BY workshopid
)
equipfunclist GROUP BY equipid
) equipclasslist GROUP BY classid
) WorkshopequipmentList HAVING pairstatus = 1 AND workshopid in (1, 4)
) prodbyworkshops ON classid = equipclassmain OR classid = equipclassor
But I get an "Column classid in field list is ambiguous". Any idea what's wrong here?
THANK YOU!
