not able to create a view with two tables

    Good morning

    Hopefully you can help me. I think I have a simple table structure.
    I'm creating a sports ranking website. We have athletes and we different activities. We will have 20 SkillChallenges as well as different runs. 
    The athletes will have 3 tries on each SkillChallenges to complete.

    My current table structure

    - one table with the Athletes (id, nr, name, gender, age, cat)
    - one tables for the SkillsChallenges (id, T1, T2, T3)

    At the end I need a view for each SkillChallenge so that we are able to add the points directly on the SkillChallange station.
    We also need some other views but I think once I'm able to get this working then I'm also able to get all other views working.

    Now I created a VIEW where I combine two table, see attached url.
    => https://ninja-scoring.com/test/index.php/elementor-78/

    and here the SQL Statement I used... I tried it as view on the DB as well within the plugin... 

    --CREATE VIEW OG_S1 AS
        SELECT 
    OG_TeilnehmerTest.nr,
        OG_TeilnehmerTest.name, 
    OG_TeilnehmerTest.Gender, 
    OG_TeilnehmerTest.Age,
    OG_TeilnehmerTest.Cat,
    OG46_1.T1,
    OG46_1.T2,
    OG46_1.T3
    FROM OG_TeilnehmerTest, OG46_1
    WHERE OG_TeilnehmerTest.wdt_ID = OG46_1.id

    I also have the plugin Elementor Pro in use and created the website with it. 

    Now I get the following error messages when I try to modify a value on the front-end.
    - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB.
    (But I was able to save it, also the statement works when I run it on the DB itself.)

    Then I thought it would make sense to only allow editing on the T1, T2, T3 which is a table so that not both tables are affected without success... 

    So now I hope you can help me to get this working. 
    I don't want to create full tables, means that every table contains the athlete's name and so on. 

    So we are not able to correct anything during the check-in from the athletes. Because then we have to correct it manually on more then 20 tables... 

    I'm looking forward to hear soon from you. 

    Kind regards,
    Stefan Anderegg

    Did another test right now. 

    Dear Support Team

    On your page I found the tipp to split it to two databases. So I was in contact with my hoster. He created now a second DB and permit the same user to both DB's

    Now I did a test to combine the two tables but I still get the error message during the front-end editing. Here the SQL statement I used.

    CREATE VIEW OG46_test2 AS
    SELECT
    OG46_Teilnehmer.Nr,
    OG46_Teilnehmer.`Name`,
    OG46_Teilnehmer.Gender,
    OG46_Teilnehmer.Age,
    OG46_Teilnehmer.`Cat`,
    OG46_1.T1,
            OG46_1.T2,
            OG46_1.T3
    FROM NinjaScoringUser.OG46_Teilnehmer, OG46_1
    WHERE NinjaScoringUser.OG46_Teilnehmer.id = OG46_1.id


    Then I had a idea to use one table and a view. The table "OG46_Teilnehmer" is nothing I need to edit / modify for this task. So I created the following view 

    CREATE VIEW OG46_test3 AS
    SELECT
    OG_TeilnehmerView.id,
            OG_TeilnehmerView.Nr,
    OG_TeilnehmerView.`Name`,
    OG_TeilnehmerView.Gender,
    OG_TeilnehmerView.Age,
    OG_TeilnehmerView.`Cat`,
    OG46_1.T1,
            OG46_1.T2,
            OG46_1.T3
    FROM NinjaScoringUser.OG_TeilnehmerView, OG46_1
    WHERE NinjaScoringUser.OG_TeilnehmerView.id = OG46_1.id;

    where I point to the view instead of a table. But i got the same result during front end editing... 


    Please help

    Many thanks
