How should I modify a SQL query for PostgreSQL?

somehting=>something

postgres=# create database test
postgres-# ;
CREATE DATABASE

postgres=# \c test
You are now connected to database "test".

test=# select version();
                                            version

HINT:  Perhaps you meant to reference the table alias "somehting".

test=# SELECT *
FROM "main" main
     INNER JOIN "something_link" something_link ON main."id" = something_link."mainid"
     INNER JOIN "something" something ON something_link."somethingid" = something."id"
     INNER JOIN "type" type ON something."typeid" = type."id"
;

 id | mainid | somethingid | id | typeid | id

The real problem is actually not the query, but the PostgreSQL 8.3 default configuration. After correcting the spelling mistake (10x Kendrick Wilson), the problem persisted, until I edited the "postgresql.conf" file. There should be a line:

add_missing_from = on

This line ensures compatibility with the other SQL dialects.
