Question MySQL run SELECT on a table if column A form table 1 equals column A from table 2


Hello, I've got a mysql database which has to tables, both having some information, but one of the column are used for the same information and would like to run a SELECT and/or DELECT on table 1 while column A value from table 1 equals column A value from table 2.

I've searched online, found something with INNER JOIN, but couldn't understand sh*t from it

something like this I'm thinking of:

Quote:
db name = mydb
table 1 name = tbl1
table 2 name = tbl2
column A name = data

USE mydb; SELECT * from tbl1 WHERE data.tbl1 = data.tbl2;
This is the idea, this doesn't work, of course.

Found the solution:

Quote:
select count(tbl1.column_A) from tbl1 inner join tbl2 on tbl2.column_A = tbl1.column_A;
