Error: The identifier that starts with ... Max length is 128 - sql

Question

When I try to execute the SQL statement below when pointed to an SQL Server Express I get an error
The identifier that starts with 'Select * FROM AvailabilityBlocks LEFT JOIN Location ON AvailabilityBlocks.LocationID=Location.LocationID WHERE ((AvailabilityBlo' is too long. Maximum length is 128." Error.
SQL code:
SELECT *
FROM
(Resources
LEFT JOIN
[Select *
FROM AvailabilityBlocks
LEFT JOIN
Location ON AvailabilityBlocks.LocationID = Location.LocationID
WHERE
((AvailabilityBlocks.LocationID IN (8, 14, 16, 31, 1, 15, 17, 10, 9, 19, 12, 30, 5, 18, 13, 20, 3, 26, 2, 25, 28, 27, 32, 33)
AND (AvailabilityBlocks.Type = 3 OR AvailabilityBlocks.Type = 4))
OR AvailabilityBlocks.Type = 2)
AND [Begin] < '06-Apr-2015 12:00:00 AM'
AND [Begin] >= '30-Mar-2015 12:00:00 AM'
AND (WeekDay([Begin]) = 2 OR WeekDay([Begin]) = 3
OR WeekDay([Begin]) = 4 OR WeekDay([Begin]) = 5
OR WeekDay([Begin]) = 6 OR WeekDay([Begin]) = 7)]. AS FilteredTable ON Resources.ResourceID = FilteredTable.ResourceID)
LEFT JOIN
EmployeeTypes ON EmployeeTypes.TypeID = Resources.EmployeeType
ORDER BY
RClass, Resources.LastName ASC, Resources.FirstName ASC,
Resources.ResourceID ASC, [AvailabilityBlocks.Begin] ASC,
[AvailabilityBlocks.End] Desc, Location.SubType DESC
This SQL works fine when executed against an Access DB. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You were using [ instead of ( for the named subquery. I fixed it in the below and added a little structure for readability.
SELECT * FROM
Resources
LEFT JOIN
(Select * FROM AvailabilityBlocks
LEFT JOIN Location ON AvailabilityBlocks.LocationID=Location.LocationID
WHERE ((AvailabilityBlocks.LocationID IN (8, 14, 16, 31, 1, 15, 17, 10, 9, 19, 12, 30, 5, 18, 13, 20, 3, 26, 2, 25, 28, 27, 32, 33)
AND (AvailabilityBlocks.Type = 3 OR AvailabilityBlocks.Type = 4)) OR AvailabilityBlocks.Type = 2)
AND [Begin] < '06-Apr-2015 12:00:00 AM'
And [Begin] >= '30-Mar-2015 12:00:00 AM'
AND (WeekDay([Begin])=2
OR WeekDay([Begin])=3
OR WeekDay([Begin])=4
OR WeekDay([Begin])=5
OR WeekDay([Begin])=6
OR WeekDay([Begin])=7)) AS FilteredTable
ON Resources.ResourceID=FilteredTable.ResourceID
LEFT JOIN EmployeeTypes ON EmployeeTypes.TypeID=Resources.EmployeeType
ORDER BY RClass, Resources.LastName ASC, Resources.FirstName ASC, Resources.ResourceID ASC, AvailabilityBlocks.[Begin] ASC, AvailabilityBlocks.[End] Desc, Location.SubType DESC

There a few things off with your query. I will give you what I think your query should look like. But I believe you need to also be able to figure out how to break up your query so as to figure out what it wrong
First thing first, make sure the inner query in your left join actually works :
SELECT ab.* -- Note Here I only select ab.*, if you need any columns from Location then do loc. "column needed"
FROM AvailabilityBlocks ab
LEFT JOIN Location loc ON ab.LocationID = loc.LocationID
WHERE
((ab.LocationID IN (8, 14, 16, 31, 1, 15, 17, 10, 9, 19, 12, 30, 5, 18, 13, 20, 3, 26, 2, 25, 28, 27, 32, 33)
AND (ab.Type = 3 OR ab.Type = 4))
OR ab.Type = 2)
AND ab.Begin BETWEEN CAST('20150330' AS DATE) AND CAST('20150406' AS DATE)
AND (WeekDay([Begin]) IN ( 2,3,4,5,6,7)
Now once you verify that the upper query works, you can embed that inner working query into your left join (I assume that most of the columns are within availability blocks if ResourceId is not then add it via Loc.ResourceID).
SELECT r.*,et.* , FilteredTable.Begin, FilteredTable.End, FilteredTable.SubType
FROM Resources r
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT ab.*
FROM AvailabilityBlocks ab
LEFT JOIN Location loc ON ab.LocationID = loc.LocationID
WHERE
((ab.LocationID IN (8, 14, 16, 31, 1, 15, 17, 10, 9, 19, 12, 30, 5, 18, 13, 20, 3, 26, 2, 25, 28, 27, 32, 33)
AND (ab.Type = 3 OR ab.Type = 4))
OR ab.Type = 2)
AND ab.Begin BETWEEN CAST('20150330' AS DATE) AND CAST('20150406' AS DATE)
AND (WeekDay([Begin]) IN ( 2,3,4,5,6,7)
)AS FilteredTable ON r.ResourceID = FilteredTable.ResourceID
LEFT JOIN EmployeeTypes et ON et.TypeID = r.EmployeeType
Lastly within the "order by" clause use the appropriate alias rather than table names
ORDER BY
RClass, -- What table has this?
r.LastName ASC,
r.FirstName ASC,
r.ResourceID ASC,
FilteredTable.Begin ASC,
FilteredTable.End Desc,
FilteredTable.SubType DESC
Being able to break out your queries to see what is causing you problems is key to figuring out what other problems exist (meaning don't expect peoples' solutions to give you the answer, but rather guide you to figuring out the solution on your own)
