mysql - Join multiple columns from one table to single column from another table

Question

I'm trying to learn how to join multiple columns from one table to a single column from another table.

This is my table structure in its simplest form:

teams

id | team_name |
1  |   teamA   |
2  |   teamB   |
3  |   teamC   |
4  |   teamD   |

trades

id |  team_1 (FK to teams.id)  |  team_2 (FK to teams.id)  |
1  |            1              |              2            |
2  |            3              |              4            |

This is my current SQL which joins trades.team_1 to teams.id:

SELECT teams.team_name AS team1, teams.team_name AS team2, trades.team_1, trades.team_2
FROM teams
JOIN trades ON (trades.team_1 = teams.id);

My question is, how do I create a second join that also joins trades.team_2 to trades.id?

This would mean both trades.team_1 AND trades.team_2 would be joined to trades.id

The results I want to get back would be:

team1  |  team2  |  team_1  |  team_2  |
teamA  |  teamB  |    1     |     2    |
teamC  |  teamD  |    3     |     4    |

Answer 1

Like this:

select t1.team_name as team1, t2.team_name as team2, t.team_1, t.team_2
from trades t
inner join teams t1 on t1.id = t.team_1
inner join teams t2 on t2.id = t.team_2;
