MySQL 5 left join unknown column

Question

I had the below query working in mysql 4.1, but does not in 5.0:

SELECT * FROM email e, event_email ee 
LEFT JOIN member m on m.email=e.email 
WHERE ee.email_id          


        

Answer 1

The answer would be to place the JOIN statement directly after the table in the FROM statement, because that is the table you are joining on:

SELECT * 
FROM email e 
LEFT JOIN member m on m.email=e.email, 
event_email ee 
WHERE ee.email_id = e.email_id
