Change the query to: SELECT parcels.DXF as 'record', building.ADDRESS as 'results1', parcels.relname as 'results2' from parcels INNER JOIN building on parcels.DXF = building.DXF where parcels.relname LIKE '%jones%' order by parcels.relname desc;
For tables in the from list, the next word after a table name is considered to be the alias, unless it is a keyword. So, when you had: "from parcels building INNER JOIN building as building" since building was immediately after parcels, it thought you wanted to use building as an alias for parcels. You then go on to list building, so according to your query you wanted parcels aliased as building, and building also to be called building, so there was a conflict. -----Original Message----- From: Diver8 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Unknown table in field list Hi again. I've tried searching the list archives for this all morning, but they don't seem to be working (never get any results, page times out). I found one report of this on google but the guy said he figured out the problem but didn't say what he did to fix it! I just added a table to my database (about four hours ago, actually). This table is called 'building'. My overall database looks like this: mysql> show tables; +------------------------+ | Tables_in_tmp_db_work | +------------------------+ | building | | parcels | +------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) I'm trying to run the following query: mysql> SELECT parcels.DXF as 'record', building.ADDRESS as 'results1', parcels.relname as 'results2' from parcels where parcels.relname like '%jones%' order by parcels.relname desc; That query returns: ERROR 1109: Unknown table 'building' in field list If I try this query instead: mysql> SELECT parcels.DXF as 'record', building.ADDRESS as 'results1', parcels.relname as 'results2' from parcels building INNER JOIN building as building on parcels.DXF = building.DXF where parcels.relname LIKE '%jones%' order by parcels.relname desc; The query returns: ERROR 1066: Not unique table/alias: 'building' So what's wrong??
