Your question is not clear. As I understand you want to select from both tables based on id or
did I miss anything.

SQL

Select c.id, c.Name, c.Address, ct.groupname, ct.ID FROM people AS c Inner Join [group] as ct on ct.ID=c.id

sql joins[^]

Solution 2

Is this what you want?

SELECT u.[name]
FROM   [users] u
JOIN   [groupUser] gr1
       OM gr1.[userID1] = u.[userId]
JOIN   [groupUser] gr2
       OM gr1.[userID2] = u.[userId]

I think you should reconsider the design of the table [groupUser], what if later you need 3 or more users in a group?
