1052: Column 'id' in field list is ambiguous

Question

I have 2 tables. tbl_names and tbl_section which has both the id field in them. How do I go about selecting the id field,

Answer 1

In your SELECT statement you need to preface your id with the table you want to choose it from.

SELECT tbl_names.id, name, section 
FROM tbl_names
INNER JOIN tbl_section 
   ON tbl_names.id = tbl_section.id

OR

SELECT tbl_section.id, name, section 
FROM tbl_names
INNER JOIN tbl_section 
   ON tbl_names.id = tbl_section.id
