SELECT sql command error - sql

I have the following query:
SELECT hrpersnl.p_empno AS a, hrpersnl.p_jobtitle AS b INTO abra2wfs
FROM hrpersnl
WHERE (((Left([hrpersnl].[p_empno],1))<>'A' And (Left([hrpersnl].[p_empno],1))<>'V') AND ((hrpersnl.p_active)<>'T' And (hrpersnl.p_active)<>'N'));
It works fine to get the data i need, but when i try to sort the row I get a "Syntax Error in Query". Now if I take the above code and change it to this:
SELECT hrpersnl.p_empno AS a, hrpersnl.p_jobtitle AS b
FROM hrpersnl
WHERE (((Left([hrpersnl].[p_empno],1))<>'A' And (Left([hrpersnl].[p_empno],1))<>'V') AND ((hrpersnl.p_active)<>'T' And (hrpersnl.p_active)<>'N'));
I get the same output and i can also sort the two rows without any syntax error mentioned earlier.
Do i have the INTO command correct? Because to me it seems that's causing the error.
Edit:
What this query is suppose to do is, take all employees who are Active in our database and display their employee number and their job title.

GCP Bigquery - query empty values from a record type value

I'm trying to query all resources that has empty records on a specific column but I'm unable to make it work. Here's the query that I'm using:
SELECT
service.description,
project.labels,
cost AS cost
FROM
`xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxxx.xxxx`
WHERE
service.description = 'BigQuery' ;
Here's the results:
As you can see, I'm getting everything with that query, but as mentioned, I'm looking to get resources with empty records only for example record 229,230 so on.
Worth to mention that schema for the column I'm trying to query is:
project.labels RECORD REPEATED
The above was mentioned because I tried using several combinations of WHERE but everything ends up in error.

To identify empty repeated record - you can use ARRAY_LENGTH in WHERE clause like in below example
WHERE ARRAY_LENGTH(project.labels) = 0

Query with Totals Query results as criteria returns the expected number of results squared

Background
I am building an Access 2010 database that has a table [ControllerAdjustments] that keeps track of all adjustments made to controllers with an [AdjustmentID] autonumber field, a [ControllerID] field, an [AdjustmentDate] field, [Setpoint] field, and a [Power] field. The [Power] field represents the power level when the adjustment was made. Ultimately I need two queries to return two sets of results, one query should return the current status of all controllers (basically the most recent adjustment made on each controller) and the other should return the most recent adjustment made on each controller where power level is 100%. I plan to use each of these queries to feed a report. Note: field names changed slightly for convenience when typing, full names given in the code blocks...
Method
I focused on the Current Query first, and figured I would just copy it and make necessary changes to create a 100% Query. I started with a totals query on the [ControllerAdjustments] table, that had [ControllerID] as a Group By field and [AdjustmentDate] as a field that returned the Max value. This query returns exactly the number of records I expected, and after reviewing the sample bogus data I put in the table to check it, it seems to return exactly the records I need. I then created a Select Query that returned all the fields I want in my Current Report, namely the [ControllerAdjustments] table and the related records in upstream related tables. I then set the criteria for the [ControllerID] field in my Select Query to equal [Total_CurrentContAdjs]![ControllerID] and the [AdjustmentDate] in the Select Query to [Total_CurrentContAdjs]![MaxOfAdjustmentDate]. Running this query returns exactly what I want. The SQL for this query is below:
SELECT List_Units.UnitID, List_EDTanks.TankNameShort, List_Controllers.ControllerType, ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate, ControllerAdjustments.ControllerSetpoint, ControllerAdjustments.RxPower
FROM Total_ContAdjsCurrent, ((List_Units INNER JOIN List_EDTanks ON List_Units.UnitID = List_EDTanks.UnitID) INNER JOIN List_Controllers ON List_EDTanks.EDTankID = List_Controllers.EDTankID) INNER JOIN ControllerAdjustments ON List_Controllers.ControllerID = ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID
WHERE (((ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate)=[Total_ContAdjsCurrent]![MaxOfAdjustmentDate]) AND ((ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID)=[Total_ContAdjsCurrent]![ControllerID]))
ORDER BY List_Units.Unit, List_EDTanks.TankSortOrder, List_Controllers.ControllerType DESC;
I then copied the Totals query and added a column for Power, selected Where, unchecked show, and put in 100 for criteria. This works as expected. I then copied my select query, and changed the criteria fields to direct to my new 100% Totals query. This is where my problems begin.
Problem
The second 100% Query does not seem to like the criteria, as it initially throws out the familiar parameter window. This is the SQL Statement for the second query, virtually the same except for referring to the 100% Totals query:
SELECT List_Units.UnitID, List_EDTanks.TankNameShort, List_Controllers.ControllerType, ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate, ControllerAdjustments.ControllerSetpoint, ControllerAdjustments.RxPower
FROM Total_ContAdjsCurrent, Total_ContAdjsStdyState, ((List_Units INNER JOIN List_EDTanks ON List_Units.UnitID = List_EDTanks.UnitID) INNER JOIN List_Controllers ON List_EDTanks.EDTankID = List_Controllers.EDTankID) INNER JOIN ControllerAdjustments ON List_Controllers.ControllerID = ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID
WHERE (((ControllerAdjustments.AdjustmentDate)=[Total_ContAdjsStdyState]![MaxOfAdjustmentDate]) AND ((ControllerAdjustments.ControllerID)=[Total_ContAdjsStdyState]![ControllerID]))
ORDER BY List_Units.Unit, List_EDTanks.TankSortOrder, List_Controllers.ControllerType DESC;
Initially, Access did not add my Totals query into the show table box in design view, because its results were not directly used in the Select Query. So, I added the Totals query to the top, and that allowed my query to run without asking for parameters, but now it returns the number of results I was expecting squared. Basically if I am expecting 3 records: 1, 2, and 3, it is giving me: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, and 3. For the life of me I cannot figure out why it is doing this, especially because the exact same setup for my Current Query returns exactly what is expected... I thought maybe the where clause in my totals query had something to do with it, so I created a Select Query for the [ControllerAdjustments] table that returned all records with 100 for power. I then used this query for my totals query instead of the totals query itself, but this did not do anything different. I am at a loss, and not sure what else I can do to get the results I want. Any suggestions welcome, thank you!

I solved this by simply starting over from scratch and rebuilding my 100% query. Reviewing the SQL statements, they look identical, however for some reason my query now returns the right number of records. I have no idea why this worked, and am still curious what went wrong in the first place if anyone with time available cares to dig into it, but the original problem statement has been corrected--even if I have no idea how I did it haha...

Google BigQuery Trying to run a TABLE_RANGE_DATE

i am building a partition based table in a dataset and i am trying to query those partitions using a date range.
Here is an example of the data:
Dataset:
logs
Tables:
logs_20170501
logs_20170502
logs_20170503
i am trying first the TABLE_RANGE_DATE
SELECT count(*) FROM TABLE_DATE_RANGE([logs.logs_],
TIMESTAMP("2017-05-01"),
TIMESTAMP("2017-05-03")) as logs_count
i am keep getting : "ERROR:Error evaluating subsidiary query"
i tried those options as well:
single comma:
SELECT count(*) FROM TABLE_DATE_RANGE([logs.logs_],
TIMESTAMP('2017-05-01'),
TIMESTAMP('2017-05-03')) as logs_count
Add Project ID:
SELECT count(*) FROM TABLE_DATE_RANGE([main_sys_logs:logs.logs_],
TIMESTAMP('2017-05-01'),
TIMESTAMP('2017-05-03')) as logs_count
And it didn't worked.
So i tried to use TABLE_SUFFIX
SELECT
count(*)
FROM [main_sys_logs:logs.logs_*]
WHERE _TABLE_SUFFIX BETWEEN '20170501' AND '20170503'
And i got this error :
Invalid table name:'main_sys_logs:logs.logs_*
i have been switching SQL Dialect between legacy SQL ON/Off and i just got different errors on the table name part.
Is there any tips or help for this matter ?
maybe my table name is build wrong with the "_" at the end and this is causing the problem ? thanks for any help.

So i tried this Query and it worked :
SELECT count(*) FROM TABLE_DATE_RANGE(logs.logs_,
TIMESTAMP("2017-05-01"),
TIMESTAMP("2017-05-03")) as logs_count
it started to work after i run this query , i don't know if this is the reason .. but i just query the TABLES data for the dataset
SELECT *
FROM logs__TABLES__

Microsoft Access Query - Can't select records when adding a date to query

I am trying to compare two tables in MS Access 2010, and select records from one table (tmp_import_table) which don't exist in the second table (referrals). This works fine with the following query:
SELECT tmp_import_table.F2, tmp_import_table.F12, tmp_import_table.F13, tmp_import_table.RefDate
FROM tmp_import_table LEFT JOIN referrals ON tmp_import_table.[F2] = referrals.[ext_referral_no]
WHERE (((referrals.ext_referral_no) Is Null));
and results in the following dataset:
However, I now need to add a second criteria to the WHERE clause in the query, and select only records which occur after a certain date, which is stored in referrals.referral_date (date/time field) I have written the following query:
SELECT tmp_import_table.F2, tmp_import_table.F12, tmp_import_table.F13, tmp_import_table.RefDate
FROM tmp_import_table LEFT JOIN referrals ON tmp_import_table.[F2] = referrals.[ext_referral_no]
WHERE (((referrals.ext_referral_no) Is Null) AND ((referrals.referral_date)>#9/10/2014#));
But the query always ends with an empty dataset! I've tried all sorts of permutations of it, but always end up with the same empty result! In addition I've tried swearing, banging my head against the wall, and alcohol, but none of these seem to have worked either...
Can anybody spot an obvious problem with my query?
Thanks for looking!
Seb

You are doing left join and selecting tmp_import_table.RefDate in the first query. But filtering by referrals.referral_date in the second one which may be/are NULLs. Change to:
....AND ((tmp_import_table.referral_date)>#9/10/2014#));

Derby SQL using scalar subqueries and Order BY and FETCH NEXT to limit result to one

Here's a simplified SQL statement for what I'm trying:
SELECT * FROM cows WHERE lastMilkedDate =
(SELECT milkDate from Lactaction order by
milkDate desc FETCH NEXT ROW ONLY)
This will result in this error:
Error code -1, SQL state 42X01: Syntax error:
Encountered "FETCH" at line 1, column 148.
I've tried FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS too, same result.
Thanks

Here's what I was able to do to solve my problem. I used a column function and a where clause to enforce one value. It opens up a new issue of making my view parametrized, but I'll have to address that…
SELECT * FROM cows WHERE lastMilkedDate =
(SELECT MAX(milkDate) from Lactaction WHERE cowID=55)
Of course, this makes it a very specific query on 1 animal. I think I can rework other code to pass in the cowID.
