MySQL select one field from table WHERE condition is in multiple rows

10,701

This is a relational division problem. Something like the following should do it.

SELECT id
FROM your_table
WHERE 
(keyword="display" and value="15.6") OR (keyword="harddrive" and value="320")
GROUP BY id
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2

I'm assuming that your table has appropriate constraints such that it is impossible for there to be a completely duplicated row. (e.g. there is a PK on id, keyword)

    Tried to find the answer, but still couldn't.. The table is as follows:

    id, keyword,   value
    1   display    15.6
    1   harddrive  320
    1   ram        3
    

    So what i need is something like this.. Select an id from this table where (keyword="display" and value="15.6") AND (keyword="harddrive" and value="320") There's also a possibility that there will be 3 or 4 such keyword conditions which should result into returning one id (one row)

    It seems there's something to deal with UNION but i didn't use it before so i can't figure it out

    Thanks in advance
