Is there an efficient way to pull data from multiple tables that are in the same database, in the same query?

For instance, how would you run a query that would return all the columns from the reviews table in the movies database, and also include the "title" from the movies table that corresponds to each "movie_id" (preferably in between the "movie_id" and "username" columns)? Something like that might make it easier for someone reading the report to know which reviews go with which movies.

What you are describing is called a JOIN, and is a commonly-used database feature. If you're impatient, you could look it up — but it's very likely covered later on in the course you are taking.

Just in case it is not, it's certainly covered in some of the other courses in the database series.
