How do I fix the syntax of a sub query with joins? - sql

Question

I have the following query:
SELECT tours_atp.NAME_T, today_atp.TOUR, today_atp.ID1, odds_atp.K1, today_atp.ID2, odds_atp.K2
FROM (players_atp INNER JOIN (players_atp AS players_atp_1 INNER JOIN (today_atp INNER JOIN odds_atp ON (today_atp.TOUR = odds_atp.ID_T_O) AND (today_atp.ID1 = odds_atp.ID1_O) AND (today_atp.ID2 = odds_atp.ID2_O) AND (today_atp.ROUND = odds_atp.ID_R_O)) ON players_atp_1.ID_P = today_atp.ID2) ON players_atp.ID_P = today_atp.ID1) INNER JOIN tours_atp ON today_atp.TOUR = tours_atp.ID_T
WHERE (((tours_atp.RANK_T) Between 1 And 4) AND ((today_atp.RESULT)="") AND ((players_atp.NAME_P) Not Like "*/*") AND ((players_atp_1.NAME_P) Not Like "*/*") AND ((odds_atp.ID_B_O)=2))
ORDER BY tours_atp.NAME_T;
I'd like to add a field to this query that provides me with the sum of a field in another table (FS) with a few criteria applied.
I've been able to build a stand alone query to get the sum of FS by ID_T as follows:
SELECT tbl_Ts_base_atp.ID_T, Sum(tbl_Ts_mkv_atp.FS) AS SumOfFS
FROM tbl_Ts_base_atp INNER JOIN tbl_Ts_mkv_atp ON tbl_Ts_base_atp.ID_Ts = tbl_Ts_mkv_atp.ID_Ts
WHERE (((tbl_Ts_base_atp.DATE_T)>Date()-2000 And (tbl_Ts_base_atp.DATE_T)<Date()))
GROUP BY tbl_Ts_base_atp.ID_T, tbl_Ts_mkv_atp.ID_Ts;
I now want to match up the sum of FS from the second query to the records of the first query by ID_T. I realise I need to do this using a sub query. I'm confident using these when there's only one table but I consistently get 'syntax errors' when there are joins.
I simplified the first query down to remove all the WHERE conditions so it was easier for me to try and error check but no luck. I guess the resulting SQL will also be easier for you guys to follow:
SELECT today_atp.TOUR, (SELECT Sum(tbl_Ts_mkv_atp.FS)
FROM tbl_Ts_mkv_atp INNER JOIN (tbl_Ts_base_atp INNER JOIN today_atp ON tbl_Ts_base_atp.ID_T = today_atp.TOUR) ON tbl_Ts_mkv_atp.ID_Ts = tbl_Ts_base_atp.ID_Ts AS tt
WHERE tt.DATE_T>Date()-2000 And tt.DATE_T<Date() AND tt.TOUR=today_atp.TOUR
ORDER BY tt.DATE_T) AS SumOfFS
FROM today_atp
Can you spot where I'm going wrong? My hunch is that the issue is in the FROM line of the sub query but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.

It's difficult to advise an appropriate solution without knowledge of how the database tables relate to one another, but assuming that I've correctly understood what you are looking to achieve, you might wish to try the following solution:
select
tours_atp.name_t,
today_atp.tour,
today_atp.id1,
odds_atp.k1,
today_atp.id2,
odds_atp.k2,
subq.sumoffs
from
(
(
(
(
today_atp inner join odds_atp on
today_atp.tour = odds_atp.id_t_o and
today_atp.id1 = odds_atp.id1_o and
today_atp.id2 = odds_atp.id2_o and
today_atp.round = odds_atp.id_r_o
)
inner join players_atp as players_atp_1 on
players_atp_1.id_p = today_atp.id2
)
inner join players_atp on
players_atp.id_p = today_atp.id1
)
inner join tours_atp on
today_atp.tour = tours_atp.id_t
)
inner join
(
select
tbl_ts_base_atp.id_t,
sum(tbl_ts_mkv_atp.fs) as sumoffs
from
tbl_ts_base_atp inner join tbl_ts_mkv_atp on
tbl_ts_base_atp.id_ts = tbl_ts_mkv_atp.id_ts
where
tbl_ts_base_atp.date_t > date()-2000 and tbl_ts_base_atp.date_t < date()
group by
tbl_ts_base_atp.id_t
) subq on
tours_atp.tour = subq.id_t
where
(tours_atp.rank_t between 1 and 4) and
today_atp.result = "" and
players_atp.name_p not like "*/*" and
players_atp_1.name_p not like "*/*" and
odds_atp.id_b_o = 2
order by
tours_atp.name_t;
