Hi all,

I have a sql query which is executing a LEFT JOIN on 2 tables in which some of the columns are ambiguous. I can prefix the joined tables but when I try to prefix one of the columns from the table in the FROM clause, it tells me Unknown column. I even tried giving that table an alias like so ...From points AS p and using "p" to prefix the tables but that didn't work either. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Here is my query:

SELECT point_title, point_url, address, city, state, zip_code, phone, `points`.`lat`, `points`.`longi`, featured, kmlno, image_url, category.title, category_id, point_id, lat, longi, reviews.star_points, reviews.review_id, count(reviews.point_id) as totals FROM (SELECT *, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('37.7717185') ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( longi ) - radians('-122.4438929') ) + sin( radians('37.7717185') ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM points HAVING distance < '25') as distResults LEFT JOIN category USING ( category_id ) LEFT JOIN reviews USING ( point_id ) WHERE (point_title LIKE '%Playgrounds%' OR category.title LIKE '%Playgrounds%') GROUP BY point_id ORDER BY totals DESC, distance LIMIT 0 , 10
