Outer join for Alias name and column name -Oracle - sql

I had a working sample query earlier in my code as mentioned below.
SELECT DISTINCT
nombre_aplicacion,
APLICACION,
NOMBRE_APLCODE,
DESCRIPCION,
AREAFUNC
FROM (
select **CODAPLICATION nombre_aplicacion**,
APLICACION,
NOMBRE_APLCODE,
DESCRPTION,
AREAFUNC
from admin.VW_APLICACIONES#dblink,
admin.VW_PRODUCTOS#dblink
where **nombre_aplicacion (+) = CODAPLICATION**
)
WHERE 1=1
ORDER BY nombre_aplicacion ASC;
When I try similar type of query with different tables I was getting error as invalid ORA-00904: "NOMBRE_APLICACION": invalid identifier.
If I remove nombre_aplicacion (+) = CODAPLICATION in where condition query is fetching the result. Can any one suggest why I was facing error as its working earlier with sample query and I was getting error? Is this join is valid?

The query is not valid as:
In the inner sub-query you select areafunc and in the outer query you use area which does not appear in the inner sub-query so will not be available.
In the inner sub-query, you define CODAPLICATION to have the alias nombre_aplicacion and then you try to use that alias in the WHERE clause as a join condition; that will not work.
You have not described which column belongs to which table but you want something like:
SELECT DISTINCT
a.codaplication AS nombre_aplicacion,
a.aplicacion,
a.nombre_aplcode,
p.descrption,
p.areafunc
from APLICACIONES a
LEFT OUTER JOIN PRODUCTOS p
ON (a.primary_key_column = p.foreign_key_column)
ORDER BY nombre_aplicacion ASC;
Note: you are going to have to correct the code to give the correct table aliases for each column and give the correct columns for the join condition.

Hive - Multiple sub-queries in where clause is failing

I am trying to create a table by checking two sub-query expressions within the where clause but my query fails with the below error :
Unsupported sub query expression. Only 1 sub query expression is
supported
Code snippet is as follows (Not the exact code. Just for better understanding) :
Create table winners row format delimited fields terminated by '|' as
select
games,
players
from olympics
where
exists (select 1 from dom_sports where dom_sports.players = olympics.players)
and not exists (select 1 from dom_sports where dom_sports.games = olympics.games)
If I execute same command with only one sub-query in where clause it is getting executed successfully. Having said that is there any alternative to achieve the same in a different way ?
Of course. You can use left join.
Inner join will act as exists. and left join + where clause will mimic the not exists.
There can be issue with granularity but that depends on your data.
select distinct
olympics.games,
olympics.players
from olympics
inner join dom_sports dom_sports on dom_sports.players = olympics.players
left join dom_sports dom_sports2 where dom_sports2.games = olympics.games
where dom_sports2.games is null

RedShift SQL subquery with Inner join

I am using AWS Redshift SQL. I want to inner join a sub-query which has group by and inner join inside of it. When I do an outside join; I am getting an error that column does not exist.
Query:
SELECT si.package_weight
FROM "packageproduct" ub "clearpathpin" cp ON ub.cpipr_number = cp.pin_number
INNER JOIN "clearpathpin" cp ON ub.cpipr_number = cp.pin_number
INNER JOIN (
SELECT sf."AWB", SUM(up."weight") AS package_weight
FROM "productweight" up ON up."product_id" = sf."item_id"
GROUP BY sf."AWB"
HAVING sf."AWB" IS NOT NULL
) AS si ON si.item_id = ub.order_item_id
LIMIT 100;
Result:
ERROR: column si.item_id does not exist
It's simply because column si.item_id does not exist
Include item_id in the select statement for the table productweight
and it should work.
There are many things wrong with this query.
For your subquery, you have an ON statement, but it is not joining:
FROM "productweight" up ON up."product_id" = sf."item_id"
When you join the results of this subquery, you are referencing a field that does not exist within the subquery:
SELECT sf."AWB", SUM(up."weight") AS package_weight
...
) AS si ON si.item_id = ub.order_item_id
You should imagine the subquery as creating a new, separate, briefly-existing table. The outer query than joins that temporary table to the rest of the query. So anything not explicitly resulted in the subquery will not be available to the outer query.
I would recommend when developing you write and run the subquery on its own first. Only after it returns the results you expect (no errors, appropriate columns, etc) then you can copy/paste it in as a subquery and start developing the main query.

where clause in nested isNull query giving unexpected result

The below query returns around 200000 results.
The working of nested where clause in this query is not very clear i.e where is it coming in the picture ?
If I comment out the where clause inside the isNull then I get 0 results, which is fine and expected as the Max(invoiceID) is not null after join.
select * from CustomerServices where isNull((
SELECT MAX(invoiceid)
FROM Invoices
LEFT JOIN InvoicesHistory
ON InvoicesHistory.ServiceHistoryID = Invoices.ServiceHistoryID
WHERE serviceID = Invoices.serviceID
),0)=0
Please let me know if you want me to add more information.
I think you just want not exists:
select cs.*
from CustomerServices cs
where not exists (select 1
from Invoices i left join
InvoicesHistory ih
on ih.ServiceHistoryID = i.ServiceHistoryID
where cs.serviceID = i.serviceID
);
In your case, the nested WHERE clause is not doing anything. It is equivalent to:
Invoices.serviceID = Invoices.serviceID
by the scoping rules in SQL. In all likelihood, this is intended to be a correlation clause and hence needs a qualified column name.

Oracle Invalid Identifier ORA-00904

I keep getting this error trying to run this simple Join.....
SELECT docregitem.reviewdate, docregitem.nclient, client.name
FROM docregitem, client
INNER JOIN client
ON docregitem.nclient = client.nclient
ORA-00904: "DOCREGITEM"."NCLIENT": invalid identifier
I can do a select and all the columns are present and correct...
I think the query you want is:
SELECT dr.reviewdate, dr.nclient, c.name
FROM docregitem dr INNER JOIN
client c
ON dr.nclient = c.nclient;
Your from clause has a comma in it. This is a lot like a cross join, but it affects the columns. These are not known in the on clause, which is what is causing the problem.
SELECT docregitem.reviewdate, docregitem.nclient, client.name
FROM docregitem
INNER JOIN client
ON docregitem.nclient = client.nclient
you try this one as you used client table twice one with simple join and other with inner join without giving the alias name to the table so the compiler is confused in selecting and comparing column from client table.

Trouble with parenthesis in MS Access for SQL Inner Joins

Have tried the below SQL in MS Access but cannot seem to get it working, anyone got a better idea?
SELECT top 4 Student.STUDENT_DEGREE, Student.STUDENT_SEX,STUDENT_GROUP_ID,STUDENT_GROUP_ID2,RESULT_MARK
FROM (((Student)
INNER JOIN Result ON Student.STUDENT_ID=Result.RESULT_STUDENT_ID)
INNER JOIN Group ON RESULT_GROUP_ID = GROUP_ID)
where STUDENT_GROUP_ID <> ''
order by Result.RESULT_MARK desc;
Whenever i run this i just get the error:
Syntax error in FROM clause
Group is a reserved word. Enclose that name in square brackets to avoid confusing the db engine. You can also assign an alias for the table name.
FROM
(Student
INNER JOIN Result
ON Student.STUDENT_ID=Result.RESULT_STUDENT_ID)
INNER JOIN [Group] AS g
ON Result.RESULT_GROUP_ID = g.GROUP_ID
I had to guess which tables contain those fields in the last ON clause. If you set up the joins in Design View of the Access query designer, it will help you get the names right. It will also add the parentheses which the db engine requires for any query which includes more than one join.
Also qualify the table sources for the field names in your SELECT list and elsewhere in the query. Here again, the query designer can supply the correct names for you.
Remove the extra set of parentheses around Student:
SELECT top 4 Student.STUDENT_DEGREE,Student.STUDENT_SEX,STUDENT_GROUP_ID,STUDENT_GROUP_ID2,RESULT_MARK
FROM ((Student
INNER JOIN Result ON Student.STUDENT_ID=Result.RESULT_STUDENT_ID)
INNER JOIN Group ON RESULT_GROUP_ID = GROUP_ID)
where STUDENT_GROUP_ID <> ''
order by Result.RESULT_MARK desc;
