需要使用意大利语翻译查找所有单词,如果不存在意大利语,则需要使用西班牙语(默认语言).我不能使用多个查询,并且存在条件(技术限制)
话
id|name
-------
1|Dog
2|Cat
翻译
id|word_id|translation|language
-------------------------------
1| 1| Perro|es
2| 1| Cane |it
3| 2| Gatto|es
结果:
id|name|translation|language
1| Dog| Cane|it
2| Cat| Gatto|es
SELECT * FROM words LEFT JOIN translation ON words.id = translation.word_id WHERE language = 'it' OR (language = 'es' AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM translation WHERE word_id = words.id AND language = 'it'))
这段代码返回了我需要的全部信息,但是我无法在我所处的情况下使用存在条件的地方
解决方法:
我会两次将翻译表上的words表加入其中,每种语言一次:
SELECT w.id,
w.name,
COALESCE(it.translation, es.translation) AS translation,
COALESCE(it.language, es.language) AS language
FROM words w
LEFT JOIN translation it ON w.id = it.word_id AND it.language = 'it'
LEFT JOIN translation es ON w.id = es.word_id AND es.language = 'es'
