SQL query for Inner Join with Select

Question

I want to write a SQL query like the following. Its syntax is not correct. How can I correct it?

$sql_package_feature = "SELECT f.feature_id, f.feature_name FROM  tbl_feature f 
LEFT JOIN SELECT * FROM tbl_feature_and_profile fp WHERE fp.profile_id= ? ) ON 
f.feature_id = fp.feature_id AND f.package_id = fp.package_id WHERE fp.feature_id 
IS NULL  AND f.package_id = ? ORDER BY f.feature_id";

Answer 1

I think it was abount missing 'as fp' after subselect. Try this query:

SELECT 
      f.feature_id, 
      f.feature_name 
FROM  tbl_feature f 
LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM tbl_feature_and_profile fp WHERE fp.profile_id= ? ) 
     as fp ON (f.feature_id = fp.feature_id AND f.package_id = fp.package_id) 
WHERE 
     fp.feature_id IS NULL  AND f.package_id = ? ORDER BY f.feature_id

If you join against a subselect, you have to name it. Put the name on the subselect instead of the table inside it:

SELECT f.feature_id, f.feature_name
FROM  tbl_feature f
LEFT JOIN (
  SELECT *
  FROM tbl_feature_and_profile
  WHERE profile_id= ?
) fp ON f.feature_id = fp.feature_id AND f.package_id = fp.package_id
WHERE fp.feature_id IS NULL AND f.package_id = ?
ORDER BY f.feature_id
