-- The first query here (commented out; uncomment it and comment out from -- "SELECT DISTINCT" to run it) just returns post IDs with their numerical -- post types. Not very exciting, is it? -- Run this query, what does PostTypeId mean? It's a number! -- SELECT Top 100 Title, Id, PostTypeId -- FROM Posts -- ORDER BY Id DESC -- Now try this instead: SELECT DISTINCT p.PostTypeId, pt.Name FROM Posts p JOIN PostTypes pt ON p.PostTypeId = pt.Id ORDER BY p.PostTypeId ASC -- This can be seen much easier if you click on the "i" icon -- next to the PostTypes table in the right-hand table list. -- Query written by jmac
