Having a mental block with going around this query.
I have the following tables:
review_list: has most of the data, but in this case the only important thing is review_id, the id of the record that I am currently interested in (int)
variant_list: model (varchar), enabled (bool)
variant_review: model (varchar), id (int)
variant_review is a many to many table linking the review_id in review_list to the model(s) in variant_list review and contains (eg):
..
test1,22
test2,22
test4,22
test1,23
test2,23... etc
variant_list is a list of all possible models and whether they are enabled and contains (eg):
test1,TRUE
test2,TRUE
test3,TRUE
test4,TRUE
what I am after in mysql is a query that when given a review_id (ie, 22) will return a resultset that will list each value in variant_review.model, and whether it is present for the given review_id such as:
test1,1
test2,1
test3,0
test4,1
or similar, which I can farm off to some webpage with a list of checkboxes for the types. This would show all the models available and whether each one was present in the table
