Select statment question - PostgreSQL Database

Anton Nikiforov

Dear All,
could you please help me with writing select statment for the following:
I have two tables
dictionary_text
label| Text
-----+------------------------
23 | General
24 | Internet
25 | General option group
26 | Internet option group

And
dictionary_opti ongroup
id | name | description
----+------+-------------
0 | 23 | 25
1 | 24 | 26

How should i write SELECT statement to get the following:
name | description
---------+----------------------
General | General option group
Internet | Internet option group

I understand that maybe this question is not for this list, but my
brains stuck with this select. Could you please help.

Best regards,
Anton

select dt1.text as name, dt2.text as description
from dictionary_text dt1, dictionary_opti ongroup do, dictionary_text dt2
where dt1.label = do.name and do.description = dt2.label;

not tested :)
