I want to get room’s member
list, room’s owner member
in case of he doesn’t exists in other table and admin member
at the same time. Currently i fetch them individually.
CREATE TABLE public.room_members (
id bigint NOT NULL,
member_id bigint,
room_id bigint,
group_id bigint
);
CREATE TABLE public.rooms (
id bigint NOT NULL,
member_id bigint,
group_id bigint,
name varchar(128)
);
CREATE TABLE public.members (
id bigint NOT NULL,
group_id bigint,
username varchar(128),
is_admin bool default false
);
CREATE TABLE public.groups (
id bigint NOT NULL,
name varchar(128)
);
-- My Group created
INSERT INTO "groups" (id, name) VALUES (1, 'My Group');
-- Create users for this group. We have 4 users/members
INSERT INTO "members" (id, group_id, username, is_admin) VALUES (1, 1, 'Pratha', true);
INSERT INTO "members" (id, group_id, username) VALUES (2, 1, 'John');
INSERT INTO "members" (id, group_id, username) VALUES (3, 1, 'Mike');
INSERT INTO "members" (id, group_id, username) VALUES (4, 1, 'April');
-- April creates a room and he is owner of this room
INSERT INTO "rooms" (id, group_id, member_id, name) VALUES (1, 1, 4, 'My Room'); -- 4 is April
-- April also adds Mike to the room members. But she does not add herself. As she is owner.
INSERT INTO "room_members" (id, group_id, room_id, member_id) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 3); -- 3 is Mike
What I want is:
room_members
list of ‘My Room’ (Which is only Mike at the moment)- My Room’s owner in case of he didn’t add himself to
room_members
table. Because he is the owner of that room (Which is April) - Plus, admin member (Which is Pratha)
And this should be unique. For example, if user add himself to room_members
and also owner
then it should fetch member one time only.
What I tried so far?
select * from members
left outer join room_members cm on cm.member_id = members.id
left outer join rooms c on c.id = cm.room_id
where c.name = 'My Room' or members.id = 1
I couldn’t use group by here either. Also i don’t need the all fields. Just room_members
table fields only.
See here: https://rextester.com/XWDS42043
Expected output for room_members
:
+-------------+------------+------------+
| member_id | group_id | username |
+-------------+------------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | Pratha |
+-------------+------------+------------+
| 3 | 1 | Mike |
+-------------+------------+------------+
| 4 | 1 | April |
+-------------+------------+------------+
- Pratha: Because he is
ADMIN
- Mike: Because he is member of My Room.
MEMBER
- April: Because she created that room.
OWNER
room_members
can be many. I just added only Mike but it can have multiple members including admins and owners.

You can address this with UNION
:
-- list the admin(s) of the room group
select m.id, m.group_id, m.username
from rooms r
inner join members m on m.group_id = r.group_id and m.is_admin = true
where r.name = 'My Room'
union
-- list the members of the room
select m.id, m.group_id, m.username
from rooms r
inner join room_members rm on r.id = rm.room_id
inner join members m on rm.member_id = m.id
where r.name = 'My Room'
union
-- recover the room owner
select m.id, m.group_id, m.username
from rooms r
inner join members m on r.member_id = m.id
where r.name = 'My Room'
UNION
eliminates duplicates accross queries, so if a user is both member and/or group admin and/or owner of the room, they will only appear once.
In your fiddle, this query returns:
id group_id username
1 4 1 April
2 3 1 Mike
3 1 1 Pratha
