If you want to compare the 2 tables you have to join them:
select * from listings, fake where listings.id=fake.id;
If you do your query SELECT * from listings where listings.id = fake.id; it simply doesn't know where to get fake.id

I'm trying to compare 2 tables and keep getting an error.

SELECT * from listings where listings.id = fake.id;

The error is "Error 1109: Unknown table 'fake' in where clause"
or "Error 1109: Unknown table 'listings' in where clause" depending on
the table order at the end of the query.

Both tables do exist and I can select any or all contents from either of
them seperately just not using the command above that practically comes
straight from the documentation.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ed
