Selecting uniques in MySQL across two tables?

I have two tables, genre and genre_apps

Genre has the following fields:

export_date genre_id parent_id name

genre_apps has the following fields:

export_date genre_id application_id is_primary

What I would like to do is show all the unique names within genre_apps.

I have tried this

SELECT genre.name from grenre inner_join genre_Apps on (genre.genre.id = genre_apps.genre.id);

but I get an error:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'genre_Apps on ( genre . genre . id 开发者_开发知识库= genre_apps . genre . id )  LIMIT 0, 30' at line 1

you need to change

genre.genre.id 

to

genre.genre_id

(note the period is replaced with an underscore)

likewise with genre_apps.genre.id. also you refer to table "grenre" which should be "genre" also "inner_join" should be "inner join". try this:

SELECT genre.name from genre inner join genre_apps on genre.genre_id = genre_apps.genre.id;
