Yarko, deep down in the reference manual of mysql 5.1 I've found the reason for the issue, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/join.html.
Basically as of mysql version 5.0.12 there where some changes introduced which are not backward compatible (on older mysql versions the select/joins work on newer I get the described error). The change was caused by mysql moving to SQL 2003 compliance. Thanks god the docu and manuals of mysql are very good and it was easy to re-write the select command in order to work on SQL 2003 based on the information in the docu. Basically it was down to avoiding the comma join which causes in combination with ON joins headache as of SQL 2003. In my case the solution looks like: records=SQLTABLE(db(db.model_master.id==mid).select( db.model_master.code, db.subsidary.name, db.ipst.id, ips1.id, ips2.id, ips3.id, ips4.id, ips5.id, left=[db.subsidary.on(db.subsidary.id>0), db.ipst.on(rows_ipst), ips1.on(rows_ips1), ips2.on(rows_ips2), ips3.on(rows_ips3), ips4.on(rows_ips4), ips5.on(rows_ips5) ], orderby=db.model_master.code|db.subsidary.line), headers=headers) Here db.subsidary is not a comma join any more but a join with ON clause - making it SQL 2003 compliant.
