- jagger27 12y agoSo mapping this request onto a SQL database would be something like... SELECT * FROM orders WHERE client_id = 1 And for GET /clients/1/orders it seems like in practice it would be the same relation since it would be wasteful to store two tables. Is this roughly correct?
- mattmanser 12y agoNo. Think of it as "for order 1 list all clients", so it would be: SELECT * FROM clients WHERE client_id IN (SELECT client_id FROM orders WHERE order_id = @order_id) The GET /clients/1/orders is what would result in your query (for client 1 list all orders).
