SQL column name ambiguous - mysql

Question

I am having trouble with a new IMDB like system I'm building. My specific issue is that when I run:
CREATE VIEW `directors` AS
SELECT
`stars`.`id` AS `movie_id`,
`stars`.`title`,`stars`.`rating`,
`stars`.`storyline`,
`stars`.`star`,
`people_list`.`name` AS `director`
FROM `stars`
INNER JOIN `stars`
ON `movie_directors`.`movie` = `stars`.`id`
INNER JOIN `people_list`
ON `movie_directors`.`director` = `people_list`.`id`
WHERE `movie_directors`.`enabled` = 1;
I get the following error:
#1052 - Column 'stars.id' in field list is ambiguous
All of the questions I've found on here seem to relate to when you don't prefix the column name with a table name or, in this case, a view name since I'm writing a view to build off another view

Answer 1

You are selecting from stars and then INNER JOINing on stars:
SELECT ... FROM stars INNER JOIN stars
I think that you probably want to join with movie_directors based on your query.

Answer 2

You are using a self join (starts table is used two time) in this case you need an alias for refer the proper table instance
CREATE VIEW `directors` AS
SELECT
`stars`.`id` AS `movie_id`
, `stars`.`title`
,`stars`.`rating`
, `stars`.`storyline`
, `stars`.`star`
, `people_list`.`name` AS `director`
FROM `stars`
INNER JOIN `stars` as s2 ON `movie_directors`.`movie` = s2.`id`
INNER JOIN `people_list` ON `movie_directors`.`director` = `people_list`.`id`
WHERE `movie_directors`.`enabled` = 1;

Answer 3

I think it's because you are not aliasing correctly.
It should be something like
select ...
from stars
inner join stars as anothername

Answer 4

It looks to be ambiguous because you have two references to the stars table. Your FROM clause and your first INNER JOIN.
It looks like you are intending to join on movie_directors instead of INNER JOIN stars clause. E.g.
CREATE VIEW `directors` AS SELECT
`stars`.`id` AS `movie_id`,
`stars`.`title`,`stars`.`rating`, `stars`.`storyline`, `stars`.`star`, `people_list`.`name` AS `director`
FROM `stars`
INNER JOIN `movie_directors` ON `movie_directors`.`movie` = `stars`.`id`
INNER JOIN `people_list` ON `movie_directors`.`director` = `people_list`.`id` WHERE `movie_directors`.`enabled` = 1;
Hope this helps!
