[SOLVED] Many Columns in One Table JOIN one reference table

Many Columns in One Table JOIN one reference table

I am using DBForge Query Builder

I have one table with a number of columns which contain abbreviations. Another table contains the descriptions for the abbreviations.

What is a query to replace the abbreviations with their descriptions?

I tried a number of joins without any success.

ID  Date    Type    Cat Sub Cat
1   01/09/18    E   F   L
2   05/09/18    Cc  F   D
3   06/09/18    Cc  C   Dr
4   08/09/18    Cc  C   Sh
5   08/09/18    E   C   Sh

Code    Des
E   Eft Payment
Cc  Credit Card
F   Food
C   Clothes
B   Breakfast
L   Lunch
D   Dinner
Sh  Shirt
Dr  Dress

Desired Output

ID  Date    Type D  Cat D   Sub Cat D
1   01/09/18    Eft Payment Food    Lunch
2   05/09/18    Credit Card Food    Dinner
3   06/09/18    Credit Card Clothes Dress
4   08/09/18    Credit Card Clothes Shirt
5   08/09/18    Eft Payment Clothes Shirt

Solution

Try below using multiple join by T2 with different alias

select 
   a.ID, a.date,
   b.Des as TypeD, 
   c.Des as CatD,
   d.Des as SubCatD
from T1 a inner join T2 b on a.type=b.code
inner join T2 c on a.Cat=c.code
inner join T2 d in a.SubCat=d.code
