If codagendabusca is the only duplicate-named field in the tables,
you could change
left join buscas on agendasbusca.codagendabusca = buscas.codagendabusca
to
natural left join buscas using (codagendabusca)
"NATURAL" produces an automatic JOIN ON clause that equates each
similarly-named pair of fields, and it also removes one of each such
pair of columns from the result.
Of course, you have to be careful not to create unintended column
name matches, so I'm not sure this is really a whole lot better
from a maintenance point of view.
