This is a SQL question, I will try my best to explain.

I have a table like the following below

id  name    accounts
1   Jim 7001
1   Jim 7002
1   Jim 7003
2   Ryan    7001
3   Todd    7001
3   Todd    7003
2   Ryan    7002
4   Cam 7001
5   Fran    7001
2   Ryan    7003
1   Jim 7004

I am first trying to find all values with accounts column of '7001' to find the correct id's. After that I need to only pull the lines with those id's so I can see all the accounts for those specific ids.

example code I am using

select
s.id,
s.name,
s.account

from
students s

where
s.account in ('7001','7002','7003','7004')

I can do this with 2 queries one to find id's with '7001' account value and then run another query just for id's but would like to know if there is a way to write in order to have it all calculate in one shot.

Thanks in advance!

SELECT  *
FROM    tableName
WHERE   ID IN
        (
            SELECT ID
            FROM   tableName
            WHERE  accounts = 7001
        )

The JOIN version (recommended)

SELECT  a.*
FROM    students a
        INNER JOIN students b
          ON a.ID = b.ID
WHERE   b.accounts = 7001
