Having trouble with microsoft query syntax - sql

Question

I wrote a SQL query that works, but when I try to translate it to query on Microsoft query I'm running into a lot of problems syntactically.
This is the query I wrote originally:
select
sum(PJC_FCTR_VL)
from
(select
max(PJC_FCTR_VL)
from
(select
R_CATEGORY_70075,
PRDC_KEY
from PRDC_DIM
where R_CATEGORY_70075 like '%RAMEN%')sub,
HS_PNLS_PJC_SBST_20150404 t1,
HSHLD_DIM t2,
HS_PRCH_SBST_20150404 t3
where
t1.PNLS_TYP_ID = 1
and t3.HSHLD_ID = t2.HSHLD_ID
and sub.PRDC_KEY = t3.PRDC_KEY
group by
t1.HSHLD_ID) subqry
I tried to break this query down more to see where I'm messing up on the Microsoft query and this is what I've got:
select
max(HS_PNLS_PJC_SBST_20150404.PJC_FCTR_VL)
from
{
PRDC_DIM.R_CATEGORY_70075, PRDC_DIM.PRDC_KEY
FROM AODR2QPNLSFWPR.ADMIN.PRDC_DIM PRDC_DIM
WHERE (PRDC_DIM.R_CATEGORY_70075 Like '%RAMEN%')} HS_PNLS_PJC_SBST_20150404
I end up getting an error that says "expected OJ after {" even though I'm not really doing an outer join. I was wondering if someone could help me edit the SQL so that it would satisfy the Microsoft syntax.

Answer 1

Try something like.....
select sum(Max_PJC_FCTR_VL)
from
( select t1.HSHLD_ID, max(PJC_FCTR_VL) AS Max_PJC_FCTR_VL --<-- use two part name here
from ( select R_CATEGORY_70075,
PRDC_KEY
from PRDC_DIM
where R_CATEGORY_70075 like '%RAMEN%'
)sub
INNER JOIN HS_PRCH_SBST_20150404 t3 ON sub.PRDC_KEY = t3.PRDC_KEY
INNER JOIN HSHLD_DIM t2 ON t3.HSHLD_ID = t2.HSHLD_ID
INNER JOIN HS_PNLS_PJC_SBST_20150404 t1 ON t1.HSHLD_ID = t2.HSHLD_ID --<-- only guessing here
AND t1.PNLS_TYP_ID = 1
group by t1.HSHLD_ID
) subqry
