Performing Inner Join for Multiple Columns in the Same Table

Performing Inner Join for Multiple Columns in the Same Table

tbColors

color_code , color_name
     1     , 'blue'
     2     , 'green'
     3     , 'yellow'
     4     , 'red'

tbAnswers

answer_id  ,  favorite_color   ,   least_favorite_color   ,  color_im_allergic_to
    1      ,         1          ,         2                            3  
    2      ,         3          ,         1                            4
    3      ,         1          ,         1                            2
    4      ,         2          ,         3                            4

This seems like the way to go:

SELECT
  A.answer_id
  ,C1.color_name AS favorite_color_name
  ,C2.color_name AS least_favorite_color_name
  ,C3.color_name AS color_im_allergic_to_name
FROM tbAnswers AS A
INNER JOIN tbColors AS C1
  ON A.favorite_color = C1.color_code
INNER JOIN tbColors AS C2
  ON A.least_favorite_color = C2.color_code
INNER JOIN tbColors AS C3
  ON A.color_im_allergic_to = C3.color_code
