Hello, my question is regarding the code below. I usually see double left joins which refer to the table1 for both LEFT JOINS (FROM cities/cities as tabl1), this one is referring to countries.code as table1 in the second LEFT JOIN which confuses me somewhat. Is the first or second LEFT JOIN excecuted first? Basically I'm asking which has priority and which table gets LEFT JOINed first. SELECT cities.name AS city, urbanarea_pop, countries.name AS country, indep_year, languages.name AS language, percent FROM cities LEFT JOIN countries ON cities.country_code = countries.code LEFT JOIN languages ON countries.code = languages.code ORDER BY city, language; SELECT cities.name AS city, urbanarea_pop, countries.name AS country, indep_year, languages.name AS language, percent from languages right join countries on languages.code = countries.code right join cities on countries.code = cities.country_code order by city, language;
