Importing from a CSV file *** SOLVED ***
March 10, 2009, 08:22:35 am
I have been trying to import from a CSV file a list of contacts. No matter what I do I get the following error:

Database Error Code: Column 'id' in field list is ambiguous, 1052

Array
(
    [callback] => Array
        (
           
  • => CRM_Core_Error
    • [1] => handle
            )

       
Code: [Select]
=> -1
    [message] => DB Error: unknown error
    [mode] => 16
    [debug_info] => SELECT id
                FROM dedupe JOIN civicrm_contact USING (id)
                WHERE contact_type = 'Individual'
                GROUP BY id HAVING SUM(weight) >= 10
                ORDER BY SUM(weight) desc [nativecode=1052 ** Column 'id' in field list is ambiguous]
    [type] => DB_Error
    [user_info] => SELECT id
                FROM dedupe JOIN civicrm_contact USING (id)
                WHERE contact_type = 'Individual'
                GROUP BY id HAVING SUM(weight) >= 10
                ORDER BY SUM(weight) desc [nativecode=1052 ** Column 'id' in field list is ambiguous]
    [to_string] => [db_error: message="DB Error: unknown error" code=-1 mode=callback callback=CRM_Core_Error::handle prefix="" info="SELECT id
                FROM dedupe JOIN civicrm_contact USING (id)
                WHERE contact_type = 'Individual'
                GROUP BY id HAVING SUM(weight) >= 10
                ORDER BY SUM(weight) desc [nativecode=1052 ** Column 'id' in field list is ambiguous]"]


This is really frustrating as there is nothing complicated about the CSV file, and there are only 200 records.

Does anyone have a clue what could be going wrong here.

this is a mysql error and occurs in some older versions of mysql. You might want to upgrade / ask your host to upgrade to a more recent version. What version of mysql are you using?
