  • and if there are no ambiguous fields, because after a "LEFT JOIN" only one record goes? Then why I get this?

    @JohnSmith did not quite get what you mean, but I think for your specific table data you get only one record, so if you had more (different) data, you would get multiple results? I think Mysql does not care (predict) if you will have one or many results, it's the query and the fields that comes after SELECT that are ambiguous. Commented Sep 11, 2022 at 14:33
