How can I do a join query for the sole purpose of filtering?

Essentially my question is how can I do this better in drizzle.

const myTeams = await ctx.db
      .select()
      .from(teams)
      .innerJoin(
        members,
        and(eq(members.teamId, teams.id), eq(members.userId, ctx.user.id)),
      );

    return myTeams.map((t) => t.team);

const myTeams = await ctx.db
      .select()
      .from(teams)
      .innerJoin(
        members,
        and(eq(members.teamId, teams.id), eq(members.userId, ctx.user.id)),
      );

    return myTeams.map((t) => t.team);

I really want to just write

SELECT T.*
FROM teams T, members M
WHERE T.id = M.teamId
AND M.userId = ?

SELECT T.*
FROM teams T, members M
WHERE T.id = M.teamId
AND M.userId = ?

is this multiple tables with from a thing in drizzle?

Drizzle doesn't support selecting from multiple tables yet. You'll need to use a join You can select only from the table that you need.

How would you rewrite this to do the same thing in a drizzle friendly way, this is how I was taught in school... also is there a shorthand to return only the properties on teams and avoid the .map? I know I could write out all of the properties manually

You can select whatever you want https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/select

You already have the query written, is the innerJoin query that you have, isn't it?

KiKoOP•13mo ago

is the innerjoin the best way to do it? that's what I ultimately landed on but is there a correct way to do it also I dont see anything in the docs that includes a team.* select for example

Angelelz•13mo ago

You could do a subquery, but in terms of what's better, you'll need to evaluate with some tests I guess There's no team.* but there's getTableColumns() helper function that will get you something equivalent

That looks good thanks is there a plan to support multiple tables in the future? or is that a task too difficult for typescript

Angelelz•13mo ago

I don't know about the plan, but usually the join is the canonical way of joining tables It's what relational dbs do IMO, using a subquery could even read better:

db.select()
  .from(teams)
  .where(
    inArray(teams.id, db
      .select({ teamId: members.teamId })
      .from(members)
      .where(eq(members.userId, ctx.user.id))
    )

db.select()
  .from(teams)
  .where(
    inArray(teams.id, db
      .select({ teamId: members.teamId })
      .from(members)
      .where(eq(members.userId, ctx.user.id))
    )
