However, this variant assumes that the linking field (in this case publID) has the same name in
both tables. That is, of course, not always the case:
mysql>
mysql> SELECT title, publName FROM titles LEFT JOIN publishers USING (publID);
+-------+-----------------------+
| title | publName |
+-------+-----------------------+
| Linux | A |
| Excel | Apress |
| XML | A |
| PHP | New Riders |
| MySQL | New Riders |
| Java | O'Reilly & Associates |
