Im trying to get my head around MySQL. I have learnt a great deal from info online but, im a little stuck on understanding how JOINS work and how to fit in into the DataTables code.
I have this table structure:
And this MySql statement:
SELECT leads.lead_id, leads.date_time, clients.username, courses.course_type, courses.location_name, CONCAT(first_name,' ',surname)
FROM courses
LEFT JOIN leads ON leads.lead_get_course_id = courses.course_id
LEFT JOIN clients ON clients.client_id = courses.course_get_client_id
WHERE leads.checked_by_admin = 'No'
Which all works fine when I test it in dreamweaver but, when I try and apply this to DataTables code I get Unknown column 'leads.lead_id' in 'field list'
Here is my DataTables code:

Any light on why Im getting this error would be great!
