I forgot the way to write a query where you can psuedo name a table, for instance I have a table named user but I have to access it twice in one query and I want the results to be different.

something like select user(a).f_name, user(a).l_name, user(b).f_name, user(b).l_name from user(a), user(b) where user(a).id = '1' and user(b).id = '12'

Does any one know the resources to look this up?

Just put the alias after the table name in your FROM clause and use those in place of the table name:
select a.f_name, a.l_name, b.f_name, b.l_name from user a, user b where a.id = '1' and b.id = '12'

Thank you appreciate it!
