OSCOMMERCE SUPPORT CALL 702-453-3332

Background:
with MySQL 5.0 the processing of sql join queries was changed to follow the standards more strictly. As a result, queries that ran fine before MySQL 5.0.12 now give this 1054 - Unknown column 'xxx' in 'on clause'.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html
Read the section which begins, "Before MySQL 5.0.12, the comma operator (,) and JOIN both had the same precedence"

Solution:
Standard oscommerce files affected have been updated in the nov 2005 update package, if you haven't installed this yet, you should do that first.

But, contributions that you have installed might be suffering from this new strictness as well.
Whenever you get this error, you need to dive into the code and make these changes.

The incompatibility with mysql 5.0.x is observed when a generated SQL has joins with both JOIN syntax and comma seperated table names in FROM clause.

i.e:

This is no more a valid sql for mysql 5.0.x according to the mysql 5.0 reference of join syntax: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html

The explanation in mysql reference is as follows:

Previously, the SELECT was legal due to the implicit grouping of t1,t2 as (t1,t2). Now the JOIN takes precedence, so the operands for the ON clause are t2 and t3. Because t1.i1 is not a column in either of the operands, the result is an Unknown column 't1.i1' in 'on clause' error. To allow the join to be processed, group the first two tables explicitly with parentheses so that the operands for the ON clause are (t1,t2) and t3:

Alternatively, avoid the use of the comma operator and use JOIN instead:

So then why is this an issue in YOUR all manufacturers contribution? Perhaps you should take your own advise? Maybe post revised code?

Cheers!

I don't have an 'all manufacturers' contribution, which contribution are YOU exactly referring too ?
I'm not aware of such an issue, but please let me know where I'm at fault and I will happily upload the revised code, all under the same code warranty !

If it's not your then I appologise for postin it in your thread and you should have it pulled - if it is yours, please help by correcting the code within

And if your so cavalier about releasing "code", why even bother in the first place? I could see if it was a simple propblem of not knowing anything about code, but you seem to prefess some knowledge on the subject so forgive me for poiinting out your glaring mistake in the very post in which you profess to have a solution...

Thanx for your help and a wonderful contribution

The contribution (mistakenly) assumed that you have enable/disable categories contribution also installed.
Thus, the error you got looked similar on the surface to the one mentioned here, but is actually a totally different as it is just an oversight from me when I released the code.

Would you like to take back your words ?

You're welcome.

New version is being uploaded, and support thread created. Seems one is needed afterall.

Martha Dinkwaller - very rude tone. eeeek.

Thanks bruyndoncx for your post regarding this. I have been migrating an installation from a 4.0.x mysql to 5.x, and this thread saved me some valuable time.

Thanks Scott,

It is nice to know that some of my posting have saved others some time !
It's even more flattering to see that this post has made you go through the troubles of creating an account just to have your say in this thread
I guess you can't do right for all people all the time

Cheers !

I'm having this same problem, except I can't even find the query in question. The error is this:

1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_id' in 'on clause'

select count(p.products_id) as total from products_description pd, products p left join manufacturers2 m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, products_to_categories p2c left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p2c.categories_id = '736'

You can see it in action here: http://www.groceriestoyourdoor.com.au/stor...x.php?cPath=736

I've been searching index.php and numerous others, but can't find any query that looks remotely like that one. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks,

David

yes it is in the index.php there is different notation that's the reason you won't see it if you search for the error string. There are many queries that fail with mysql5x and the old osc. So get the latest archive and implement the changes documented in it.
http://www.oscommerce.com/solutions/downloads

I made all the changes but I still get the 1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_id' in 'on clause' error when I click on one of my sub catagories. Can something else be causing this error?

Deskdirect ;)

Enigma,

In the osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 Update 060817 update, there's a file called "update-20060817.txt" which appears to be a Problem/Solution type document to fix these problems. But when I search for "1054" or for "Unknown column" there's nothing. Is this particular problem documented in this .txt file, or somewhere else?

the documentation includes a section with a mysql5.x header as far I recall. Now the changes in that section target the mysql issues. If you have contributions which also have similar problems obviosuly these mods wont address them. And in these cases you will have to check the contribution support thread (or there is an update for each specific module).

OK thanks... I think I'll have to go through error by error using the guide at the top of this thread, and fix them one by one. I'll keep a list as I do it and then post it later when I'm done.

Hi,

I have 1054 problem I fixed the problem once before and now its come back to haunt me! I've tried to follow the updates etc but still struggling....here's the error and my index.php code:-

ERROR:

Anyone could give ne a hand check how come im got this error during when im generate the pdf catalog at admin side,,, what should i do???in order to solve

I've read the above post a LOT of times but I still don't get it? Any chance of a COMPLETE IDIOTS guide?

Many thanks

a complete idiot!

If you are using MySQL 5 you will need to change line 609 in pdf_catalogue.php from:



to:



The only change is the addition of brackets after the FROM clause:



I hope that helps.

But where is the file as quoted above pdf_catalogue?

Maybe I should give up

if you cant find the file then you dont have the problem, if you dont have the problem then why worry?
pdf_catalogue is an add-on and is NOT part of osCommerce.
Ken

But I have got a problem?

Site here http://www.rcplans4u.co.uk/shop/index.php?cPath=1_17

PROBLEM

1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_id' in 'on clause'

select count(p.products_id) as total from products_description pd, products p left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, products_to_categories p2c left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p2c.categories_id = '17'


And the site is running with mysql 4

So whats the problem now

Error Message - 1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_id' in 'on clause'

If you get this message it is probably due to your server upgrading to php5 or MySQL5. You get the message when you try a search on your site. The new OSC from around Sept-Oct 2006 or so, doesn't have this problem.

You just need to change one section in index.php and one in advance search_result.php.

Very simple Good Luck!

Ozstar


I've gone throught this and still no change and still now working.

I have tried this and seems to have done the trick but may not work for others

First open you index.php in a html editor

Search and replace the following code.

p.products_id = s.products_id

REPLACE WITH

p2c.products_id = s.products_id

If anyone use the above and it works for them could you post a message here

Many thanks to all the people that have helped in this matter

Hi guys,

I am running int oa similar problem here. It is after I had a mod made for one of my sites than I decided to clone it onto another site of mine.

I get this error when going to Featured in the admin:



This is the code in that section:



Thanks greatly for the assistance.
