I'm using mysql_fetch_arr ay to run a query along these lines:
SELECT A.name, B.name FROM A, B WHERE A.id = B.id
I tried this code:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo $row['A.name'];
}
.... but the echo statement produces "Notice: Undefined index: A.name".
Of course, using just 'name' would be ambiguous because the query also
retrieves B.name (and my actual query will involve more tables and
probably select '*' [i.e. all columns], so it isn't trivial to use
'AS' to provide individual column aliases).
How can I access a column's value based on table *and* column name?

1. (very bad) use $row[0] and $row['name']
2. (bad) use mysql_fetch_row (), $row[0], $row[1]. Doesn't work with
"select *".
3. (best) alias all duplicate column names using "as".

Of course when you use SELECT A.name, B.name blah blah you would get
the same column "name" as result (you can try this in console too), so
the best idea is using alias that representing the column like this :
SELECT
A.name AS name_A,
B.name AS name_B
FROM A, B WHERE A.id = B.id
and to access it just use $row['name_A'] ... the variable name still
gave me the information I need
PS: why don't you use LEFT JOIN ??

Probably because it's different than his implicit INNER JOIN.

Yep, thanks. The aliases make the query that little bit longer, but
it's not a big problem.
PS: why don't you use LEFT JOIN ??
Well, in my real query it's an inner join. This was just a rather
meaningless example. If you're asking why I use the comma notation, I
just find it a bit more readable than "JOIN... JOIN... JOIN" when
several tables are involved.

It appears that the 'table.field' dot notation is not preserved by
php's mysql library.
I can create some join 'SELECT a.id, b.id FROM table1 AS a,
table2 AS b' but when I try to refer to the fields as 'a.id' and
'b.id' the reference fails because the table aliases have been
discarded from the dataset as managed by php. 'a.id' has become
merely 'id', and 'b.id' no longer has a fieldname -- the only way to
refer to it is by the numeric...

With command-line interface ( 3.23.37, UNIX Socket ) all is well with
column aliasing. However, column aliases disappear in Excel, over

I run the following query with aliased columns with CLI:
select table1.c1 as 'pet category', table1.c2 as 'item', table1.c3 as
'quantity', table2.c2 as 'attendant' from table1 left outer join
table2 on (table1.c1=table2.c1);...

My company uses coldfusion to create web applications and we currently
are using TOAD as a front end to creating SQL queries. I was wondering
how is Access compared to TOAD on its ability to provide a front end to
an Oracle database
Also, does Access have the ability to create table Aliases for whenever
you create a query in design view and then view it in SQL view (or does
it have the ability to assign table aliases at all)
