Hello! I have question for you about difficult LEFT JOIN.
Explaining:
There are 3 tables:

SQL

USERS
_______
Id_USER
Name
Surname

COMMENTS
________
Id_COMMENT
Id_USER
Text

ORDERS
________
Id_ORDER
Name
Id_USER

******************

I make query:

SQL

SELECT USERS.Name, USERS.Surname, COMMENTS.Id_COMMENT, COMMENTS.text, ORDERS.name FROM USERS LEFT JOIN COMMENTS ON
COMMENTS.Id_USER = USERS.Id_USER LEFT JOIN ORDERS ON ORDERS.Id_USER = USERS.Id_USER LEFT JOIN USERS ON ORDERS.Id_USER = USERS.Id_USER

So, i dont know how is correct to make JOIN LEFT again with table USERS if I want connect last table ORDERS with USERS, if i want select information from users, who made order at table ORDERS?

Thank you!

SQL

SELECT USERS.Name, USERS.Surname, COMMENTS.Id_COMMENT, COMMENTS.text, ORDERS.name 
FROM USERS 
LEFT JOIN COMMENTS ON COMMENTS.Id_USER = USERS.Id_USER 
LEFT JOIN ORDERS ON ORDERS.Id_USER = USERS.Id_USER

You only have one User ID listed in the Order table, so you only need one link to the user table.
