Using 'GROUP BY' while preferring rows associated in another table
I have a table tbl_entries with the following structure:
+----+------+------+------+
| id | col1 | col2 | col3 |
+----+------+------+------+
| 11 | a | b | c |
| 12 | d | e | a |
| 13 | a | b | c |
| 14 | X | e | 2 |
| 15 | a | b | c |
+----+------+------+------+
And another table tbl_reviewlist with the following structure:
+----+-------+------+------+------+
| id | entid | cola | colb | colc |
+----+-------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 12 | N | Y | Y |
| 2 | 13 | Y | N | Y |
| 3 | 14 | Y | N | N |
+----+-------+------+------+------+
Basically, tbl_reviewlist contains reviews about the entries in
tbl_entries. However, for some known reason, the entries in tbl_entries
are duplicated. I am extracting the unique records by the following query:
SELECT * FROM `tbl_entries` GROUP BY `col1`, `col2`, `col3`;
However, any one of the duplicate rows from tbl_entries will be returned
no matter they have been reviewed or not. I want the query to prefer those
rows which have been reviewed. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance!
