I'm building a website for my local hockey league and need to do something that I'm not sure can be accomplished with a SQL statement.. I have two tables with the following fields relevant to my question:
tblTeams:
intTeamID
tblGames:
intGameID
intAwayTeamID
intHomeTeamID
Records in tblGames would look like:
intGameID , intAwayTeamID , intHomeTeamID
1 , 1 , 2
2 , 3 , 4
3 , 1 , 4
4 , 2 , 3
This columner structure works well for 80% of what I need to do.
However, for the other 20% I need it to be tabular. Like this:
intGameID , intTeamID , strTeamLoc
1 , 1 , Away
1 , 2 , Home
2 , 3 , Away
2 , 4 , Home
3 , 1 , Away
3 , 4 , Home
4 , 2 , Away
4 , 3 , Home
It's the same data, just shown differently. I can get what I need by adding a third table to the mix, but that entails extra data entry. It would be much nicer to have a SQL statement that shows me columner data in the tabular format (or vice versa)..
Any ideas?
(sorry for the goofy attempt at showing data, I'm not sure how to show it correctly here..)
