Re: missing FROM-clause notice but nothing is missing ...

I think you'll find life easier if create a view then operate on that
view.

create view v_products_cast_crews AS
SELECT p.id AS products,
p.name AS product_name,
cc.id AS cast_crew,
cc.name AS cast_name
FROM rel_cast_crew_movies AS rccm
LEFT JOIN products AS p ON p.id = rccm.prod_id
LEFT JOIN cast_crew AS cc ON cc.id = rccm.cast_crew_id;

Then you can do this;

select * from v_products_cast_crews where product_name ILIKE 'AA' AND
cast_crew = 1012 ORDER BY products;

Cheers.
