    <p>At first you must determine the side which has higher importance - probably artists (might be other way round in another page for example).</p> <p>Your query makes little sense: you're completely missing the <code>JOIN</code> construct. Get your artists and join their songs. You may either use grouping and concatenate all songs for one artist into one field by using <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/group-by-functions.html#function_group-concat" rel="nofollow">GROUP_CONCAT</a> or not group the results and process the set with php (for every track it returns a row with artist name and track name).</p> <p><strong>Grouping by artist:</strong></p> <pre><code>SELECT a.artist_name, GROUP_CONCAT(a.track_name SEPARATOR '; ') AS 'tracks' FROM artists a LEFT JOIN ArtistsTracks at ON at.artist_id = a.artist_id LEFT JOIN Tracks t ON at.track_id = t.track_id GROUP BY a.artist_id </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT Grouping by track:</strong></p> <pre><code>SELECT a.track_name, GROUP_CONCAT(a.artist_name SEPARATOR '; ') AS 'artists' FROM artists a LEFT JOIN ArtistsTracks at ON at.artist_id = a.artist_id LEFT JOIN Tracks t ON at.track_id = t.track_id GROUP BY a.track_id </code></pre> <p><strong>Plain result:</strong></p> <pre><code>SELECT a.artist_name, a.track_name FROM artists a LEFT JOIN ArtistsTracks at ON at.artist_id = a.artist_id LEFT JOIN Tracks t ON at.track_id = t.track_id </code></pre> <p>Although the first two solutions run generally slower compared to the last one for large data-sets, you must account in the extra processing needed to be done by php for the last solution. Of course, if for example you want to link each track to its own page, you'd be better off with the last one. Just use one, which suits you the most.</p>

    2. COThe [MySQL doc](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html) explains joining quite well in my opinion. Good luck!

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
