I'm curious if USING() works with more than one join. I can't seem to get it
to work.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/JOIN.html
The USING (column_list) clause names a list of columns that must exist in
both tables.
The following two clauses are semantically identical:
a LEFT JOIN b USING (c1,c2,c3)
a LEFT JOIN b ON a.c1 = b.c1 AND a.c2 = b.c2 AND a.c3 = b.c3
How would you do something like
a LEFT JOIN b ON a.c1 = b.c1
LEFT JOIN c ON c.c2 = a.c2
I thought it would be as simple as
a LEFT JOIN b USING (c1)
LEFT JOIN c USING (c2)
But it fails.
