According to the SQL spec, JOIN binds more tightly than comma in a FROM-list, so what you had was FROM ..., (enum as p LEFT OUTER JOIN ticket_custom c ON (t.id = c.ticket AND c.name = 'fachabteilung')) which of course fails because only p and c are visible in the JOIN's ON condition. You fixed it by moving "t" to become part of the JOIN structure. I was aware that MySQL parses this sort of structure wrongly, but it's disappointing to hear that sqlite does too :-( regards, tom lane
