How will this query be rewritten using JOIN?

    How will this query be rewritten using JOIN?

    There are 4 tables at least, like these:

    1. PostsTable
    pid, stat, title, etc etc

    2. tagsTable
    id, pid, tag

    3. profilesTable
    profileID, username, etc etc

    4. ratingsTable
    id, pid, profileID, etc etc

    Currently am using:

    select something something
    from postsTable as p, profilesTable as pr, ratingsTable as r, tagsTable as t
    where
    p.stat='y' and
    t.pid = p.pid and
    r.pid = p.pid and
    pr.profileID = r.profileID

    "something something" are columns from profilesTable and from postsTable and from tagsTable.


    I was hoping to do it using join statement, something like this:

    select something something
    from postsTable as p
    left join tagsTable as t
    on t.pid = p.pid
    left join ratingsTable as r
    on r.pid = p.pid
    ( this is where I am lost )
    No idea how to connect ratingsTable to profilesTable here...
    At this point I have to select username in profilesTable using profileID given in ratingsTable

    I want to avoid creating a new table connecting postsTable to profilesTable for just this purpose...
    profileID is already there in ratingsTable, I am already reading ratingsTable
    So I do not want to create new connecting table for profileID and pid alone and read that also...

    Thanks

    try
    select something something
    from postsTable as p
    left join tagsTable as t on t.pid = p.pid
    left join ratingsTable as r on r.pid = p.pid
    left join profilesTable as pr on pr.profileID = r.profileID
    where p.stat='y'
    Code (markup):
    The joins are all the same, they're just placed differently.
