I can´t find the missing parenthesis or where is the error. Could anyone can help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Changing your formatting style may help.
For sub-queries, I try to keep the open and close brackets visibly associated with each other. I tend to keep them in the same column, and the content of the sub-query indented.
Similarly, make each predicate or calculation clearly separate from each other. I prefer to have them on separate lines, it makes for longer code, but narrower code; which is much more friendly for tools such as diff (and so also git).
This gives me the following which I can visually debug much faster than your example. (In fact, I'd say that I can't visually debug yours, each individual line or expression is too hard to isolate and parse.)

This leads me to the conclusion that the brackets are not the problem. So, it's likely to be some other syntax error near a bracket.
As per an answer that came up while I was reformatting your code, it appears to be LENGTH(m.Crotal<5) which should be LENGTH(m.Crotal) < 5?
(In essence, there is a ) missing before the <, and also an extra one present after the 5...)

What an ugly code; try to get used to format it, it is easier to maintain it that way.
Anyway: error comes from AND LENGTH (m.Crotal < 5) line.

What is the syntax problem here using this subquery inside where clause

SELECT p.pnum, p.pname
FROM professor p, class c
WHERE p.pnum = c.pnum AND c.cnum = CS245 AND (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT MAX(m.grade), MAX(m.grade) - MIN(m.grade) AS diff
FROM mark m WHERE m.cnum = c.cnum AND m.term = c.term AND m.section = c.section AND diff <= 20)) = 3
Incorrect syntax near ')'. Expecting AS, FOR_PATH, ID, or QUOTED_ID.
Consider the following example:
SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM SYSCAT.TABLES T
WHERE
(
-- SELECT COUNT(1)
-- FROM
-- (
SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM SYSCAT.COLUMNS C
WHERE C.TABSCHEMA=T.TABSCHEMA AND C.TABNAME=T.TABNAME
-- )
) > 50;
The query above works as is. But the problem is, that if you uncomment the commented out lines, you get the following error message: "T.TABNAME" is an undefined name. and least in Db2 for Linux, Unix and Windows.
You can't push external to the sub-select column references too deeply.
So, your query is incorrect.
It's hard to correct it, until you provide the task description with data sample and the result expected.
I can see a potential syntax errors: It seems that CS245 refers to a value c.cnum may take and not a column name. If that is the case, it should be enclosed in single quotes.

ORA-00936: missing expression Java SQL Exception

I´ve been trying to find the error in this statement for a few hours and can´t seem to find it.
It must have something to do with the AND connecting the two WHERE´s since when deleting the first WHERE it works:
SELECT E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.FIBU_FIRMA,
E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR,
E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.KOMMENTAR,
AUFTR_EXT.ART_GRUPPE

INNER JOIN HHNG_AU.AUFTR_EXT ON E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR = AUFTR_EXT.AUFTR_NR
WHERE (E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR = '1248823' )
AND WHERE NOT EXISTS( SELECT * FROM HHNG_AU.EX_KOMMENTARE WHERE EX_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR = '1248823' )
Too many WHERE. You only need where once, then use ANDs and ORs to combine conditions:
SELECT E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.FIBU_FIRMA, E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR, E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.KOMMENTAR, AUFTR_EXT.ART_GRUPPE FROM HHNG_AU.E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE INNER JOIN HHNG_AU.AUFTR_EXT ON E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR = AUFTR_EXT.AUFTR_NR WHERE (E_AUFMASS_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR = '1248823' ) AND NOT EXISTS( SELECT * FROM HHNG_AU.EX_KOMMENTARE WHERE EX_KOMMENTARE.AUFTR_NR = '1248823' )

Replace function in db2

sqlite3 JOIN, GROUP_CONCAT using distinct with custom separator

Given a table of "events" where each event may be associated with zero or more "speakers" and zero or more "terms", those records associated with the events through join tables, I need to produce a table of all events with a column in each row which represents the list of "speaker_names" and "term_names" associated with each event.
However, when I run my query, I have duplication in the speaker_names and term_names values, since the join tables produce a row per association for each of the speakers and terms of the events:
1|Soccer|Bobby|Ball
2|Baseball|Bobby - Bobby - Bobby|Ball - Bat - Helmets
3|Football|Bobby - Jane - Bobby - Jane|Ball - Ball - Helmets - Helmets
The group_concat aggregate function has the ability to use 'distinct', which removes the duplication, though sadly it does not support that alongside the custom separator, which I really need. I am left with these results:
1|Soccer|Bobby|Ball
2|Baseball|Bobby|Ball,Bat,Helmets
3|Football|Bobby,Jane|Ball,Helmets
My question is this: Is there a way I can form the query or change the data structures in order to get my desired results?
Keep in mind this is a sqlite3 query I need, and I cannot add custom C aggregate functions, as this is for an Android deployment.
I have created a gist which makes it easy for you to test a possible solution: https://gist.github.com/4072840
Look up the speaker/term names independently from each other:
SELECT _id,
name,
(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(name, ';')
FROM events_speakers
JOIN speakers
ON events_speakers.speaker_id = speakers._id
WHERE events_speakers.event_id = events._id
) AS speaker_names,
(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(name, ';')
FROM events_terms
JOIN terms
ON events_terms.term_id = terms._id
WHERE events_terms.event_id = events._id
) AS term_names
FROM events
I ran accross this problem as well, but came up with a method that I found a bit easier to comprehend. Since SQLite reports SQLite3::SQLException: DISTINCT aggregates must have exactly one argument, the problem seems not so much related to the GROUP_CONCAT method, but with using DISTINCT within GROUP_CONCAT...
When you encapsulate the DISTINCT 'subquery' within a REPLACE method that actually does nothing you can have the relative simplicity of nawfal's suggestion without the drawback of only being able to concat comma-less strings properly.
SELECT events._id, events.name,
(group_concat(replace(distinct speakers.name),'',''), ' - ') AS speaker_names,
(group_concat(replace(distinct speakers.name),'',''), ' - ') AS term_names
FROM events
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT et.event_id, ts.name
FROM terms ts
JOIN events_terms et ON ts._id = et.term_id
) terms ON events._id = terms.event_id
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT sp._id, es.event_id, sp.name
FROM speakers sp
JOIN events_speakers es ON sp._id = es.speaker_id
) speakers ON events._id = speakers.event_id
GROUP BY events._id;
But actually I would consider this a SQLite bug / inconsistency, or am I missing something?
That's strange that SQLite doesnt support that!.
At the risk of being down voted, only if it helps:
You can avail Replace(X, Y, Z). But you have to be sure you wont have valid , values in your columns..
SELECT events._id, events.name,
REPLACE(group_concat(distinct speakers.name), ',', ' - ') AS speaker_names,
REPLACE(group_concat(distinct terms.name), ',', ' - ') AS term_names
FROM events
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT et.event_id, ts.name
FROM terms ts
JOIN events_terms et ON ts._id = et.term_id
) terms ON events._id = terms.event_id
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT sp._id, es.event_id, sp.name
FROM speakers sp
JOIN events_speakers es ON sp._id = es.speaker_id
) speakers ON events._id = speakers.event_id
GROUP BY events._id;
The problem arises only with the group_concat(X,Y) expression, not with the group_concat(X) expression.
group_concat(distinct X) works well.
So, if the ',' is good for you, there is no problem, but if you want a ';' instead of ',' (and you are sure no ',' is in your original text) you can do:
replace(group_concat(distinct X), ',', ';')
Just to put a proper workaround (murb's answer is strangely parenthesized).
problem:
group_concat(distinct column_name, 'custom_separator') takes custom_separator as a part of distinct.
solution:
We need some no-op to let SQLite know that distinct finished (to wrap distinct and it's arguments).
No-op can be replace with empty string as a second parameter (documentation to replace).
group_concat(replace(distinct column_name, '', ''), 'custom_separator')
edit:
just found that it does not work :-( - can be called but distinct is not working anymore
There is a special case that does not work in sqlite : group_concat(DISTINCT X, Y)
Whereas in SQL you can use group_concat(DISTINCT X SEPARATOR Y) in sqlite you can't
This example : Select group_concat(DISTINCT column1, '|') from example_table group by column2;
gives the result : DISTINCT aggregates must have exactly one argument At line 1:
The solution :
select rtrim(replace(group_concat(DISTINCT column1||'#!'), '#!,', '|'),'#!') from example_table

naming columns in excel with Complex sql

I’m trying to run this SQL using get external.
It works, but when I try to rename the sub-queries or anything for that matter it remove it.
I tried as, as and the name in '', as then the name in "",
and the same with space. What is the right way to do that?
Relevant SQL:
SELECT list_name, app_name,
(SELECT fname + ' ' + lname
FROM dbo.d_agent_define map
WHERE map.agent_id = tac.agent_id) as agent_login,
input, CONVERT(varchar,DATEADD(ss,TAC_BEG_tstamp,'01/01/1970'))
FROM dbo.maps_report_list list
JOIN dbo.report_tac_agent tac ON (tac.list_id = list.list_id)
WHERE input = 'SYS_ERR'
AND app_name = 'CHARLOTT'
AND convert(VARCHAR,DATEADD(ss,day_tstamp,'01/01/1970'),101) = '09/10/2008'
AND list_name LIKE 'NRBAD%'
ORDER BY agent_login,CONVERT(VARCHAR,DATEADD(ss,TAC_BEG_tstamp,'01/01/1970'))
You could get rid of your dbo.d_agent_define subquery and just add in a join to the agent define table.
Would this code work?
select list_name, app_name,
map.fname + ' ' + map.lname as agent_login,
input,
convert(varchar,dateadd(ss,TAC_BEG_tstamp,'01/01/1970')) as tac_seconds
from dbo.maps_report_list list
join dbo.report_tac_agent tac
on (tac.list_id = list.list_id)
join dbo.d_agent_define map
on (map.agent_id = tac.agent_id)
where input = 'SYS_ERR'
and app_name = 'CHARLOTT'
and convert(varchar,dateadd(ss,day_tstamp,'01/01/1970'),101) = '09/10/2008'
and list_name LIKE 'NRBAD%'
order by agent_login,convert(varchar,dateadd(ss,TAC_BEG_tstamp,'01/01/1970'))
Note that I named your dateadd column because it did not have a name. I also tried to keep your convention of how you do a join. There are a few things that I would do different with this query to make it more readable, but I only focused on getting rid of the subquery problem.
I did not do this, but I would recommend that you qualify all of your columns with the table from which you are getting them.
To remove the sub query in the SELECT statement I suggest the following:
SELECT list_name, app_name, map.fname + ' ' + map.lname as agent_login, input, convert(varchar,dateadd(ss, TAC_BEG_tstamp, '01/01/1970))
FROM dbo.maps_report_list inner join
(dbo.report_tac_agent as tac inner join dbo.d_agent_define as map ON (tac.agent_id=map.agent_id)) ON list.list_id = tac.list_id
WHERE input = 'SYS_ERR' and app_name = 'CHARLOTT' and convert(varchar,dateadd(ss,day_tstamp,'01/01/1970'),101) = '09/10/2008'
and list_name LIKE 'NRBAD%' order by agent_login,convert(varchar,dateadd(ss,TAC_BEG_tstamp,'01/01/1970'))
I used parentheses to create the inner join between dbo.report_tac_agent and dbo.d_agent_define first. This is now a set of join data.
The combination of those tables are then joined to your list table, which I am assuming is the driving table here. If I am understand what you are trying to do with your sub select, this should work for you.
As stated by the other poster you should use table names on your columns (e.g. map.fname), it just makes things easy to understand. I didn't in my example because I am note 100% sure which columns go with which tables. Please let me know if this doesn't do it for you and how the data it returns is wrong. That will make it easier to solve in needed.
