Question when using "USING" intead of "ON" with multiple LEFT JOINs - different results

Hi. I decided to tidy up some of my queries, but I came across something
that stumpt me:

mysql> SELECT
-> jobs.jobId,
-> jobs.active,
-> jobs.title,
-> jobs.listed,
-> industries.indu stry,
-> occupations.occ upation,
-> agencies.agency Id,
-> agencies.agency ,
-> contacts.contac tId,
-> contacts.firstN ame,
-> contacts.lastNa me
-> FROM
-> jobs
-> LEFT JOIN industries ON jobs.industryId = industries.indu stryId
-> LEFT JOIN occupations ON jobs.occupation Id =
occupations.occ upationId
-> LEFT JOIN agencies ON jobs.agencyId = agencies.agency Id
-> LEFT JOIN contacts ON jobs.contactId = contacts.contac tId;
Runs fine
mysql> SELECT
-> jobs.jobId,
-> jobs.active,
-> jobs.title,
-> jobs.listed,
-> industries.indu stry,
-> occupations.occ upation,
-> agencies.agency Id,
-> agencies.agency ,
-> contacts.contac tId,
-> contacts.firstN ame,
-> contacts.lastNa me
-> FROM
-> jobs
-> LEFT JOIN industries USING (industryId)
-> LEFT JOIN occupations USING (occupationId)
-> LEFT JOIN agencies USING (agencyId)
-> LEFT JOIN contacts USING (contactId);
ERROR 1054: Unknown column 'industries.occ upationId' in 'on clause'
Aren't these essentially the same statements? Or does "USING" not work the
way I think it does?
Thanks, Justin.

Any new threads created afterward will grab new memory on top of where the previous left off. This is a...

I use the VS 2005 option "View in browser" to often view my web site. If I have a link in there like: <img src="/graphics/myimage.jpg"> This doesn't work even though the image is really there. I'm sure this has to do with the fact that the page is being served out of the virtual server/port that VS fires up to serve the page. This seems bogus...I can't even see my content? Am I doing something wrong?

Earlier I had inquired as to why a normal <a hreftag didn't work when using the VS hosted site using a random local port. The more I think about it, this seems very wrong. Using the random port hosted site, if I have <a href="/mypage.aspx">, this link doesn't seem to work? I've verified this by creating a simple .htm page with a link like this, then do a "View in browser". Clicking the link results in page not found. I guess this is...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
