I have this strange error in SQL Server 2005 where I take a working query, add the UNION keyword below it and then copy the query again. In my opinion, this should always be working, but it is not. I get the message 'Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'union'.
What could create this problem ?
To be more specific, here is the complete query :
select distinct deliveries.id, orders.id, 20 + sum(orders.mass1) as allowed_duration
from features_resources
inner join features on features.id = featureid
inner join orders on orders.id = features_resources.resourceid
inner join orderinformations on orders.id = orderinformations.orderid
inner join deliveries on orderinformations.deliveryid = deliveries.id
where features.name = 'O_FRAIS'
and (deliveries.ID IN
(SELECT ID
FROM dbo.DeliveriesInExportedSchedule))
group by deliveries.id, features.name ,orders.id order by deliveries.id
union
select distinct deliveries.id, orders.id, 20 + sum(orders.mass1) as allowed_duration
from features_resources
inner join features on features.id = featureid
inner join orders on orders.id = features_resources.resourceid
inner join orderinformations on orders.id = orderinformations.orderid
inner join deliveries on orderinformations.deliveryid = deliveries.id
where features.name = 'O_FRAIS'
and (deliveries.ID IN
(SELECT ID
FROM dbo.DeliveriesInExportedSchedule))
group by deliveries.id, features.name ,orders.id order by deliveries.id
I have tried to reproduce the error on a smaller query, by starting from a simple query and adding features one by one (inner join, nested queryes, group by, sum,....) but failed to reproduce the error again.
Any idea ?
It is actually the order by deliveries.id in the top half that causes the problem.
The order by needs to apply to the whole query.
Example Syntax
SELECT v1.number
FROM master.dbo.spt_values v1
WHERE v1.number > 2000
UNION
SELECT v2.number
FROM master.dbo.spt_values v2
WHERE v2.number < 10
ORDER BY v1.number
Try putting the individual SELECTs in parentheses:
(SELECT ... )
UNION
(SELECT ... )
The way you have it now, the second WHERE and GROUP BY clauses are ambiguous - should that apply to the SELECT, or to the UNION? I don't have any way to tell, and neither has your DB server.

I'm new to SQL and I'm not certain why I am getting this error. I am trying to left join a sub-query to another query in sql developer.
This is the first query,
SELECT DISTINCT
tl.species,
ag.age
FROM
age_list ag,
tree_list tl
WHERE
ag.tree_id = tl.tree_id
And then the sub-query I would like to left join where the tree_id = tree_number is,
SELECT DISTINCT
sl.tree_spon,
sl.tree_number
FROM spon_list sl
WHERE
sl.tree_spon < 10
When trying to do this I've tried to use,
SELECT DISTINCT
tl.species,
ag.age,
q1.tree_spon
FROM
age_list ag,
tree_list tl
LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT
sl.tree_spon,
sl.tree_number
FROM spon_list sl
WHERE sl.tree_spon < 10) q1 on q1.tree_number = tree_list.tree_id
WHERE
ag.tree_id = tl.tree_id
Whatever I change in terms of the alias' for the columns and tables I always get the error, "ORA-00904: invalid identifier error", and that "tree_list.tree_id is invalid identifier", though separately the queries run fine.
Can anyone help, is it an issue with both queries joining on the tl.tree_id?
You can use the ANSI join syntax throughout (rather than mixing in legacy comma joins), joining on ag.tree_id = sl.tree_number (or tl.tree_id = sl.tree_number but they're both equal given the previous join) and putting the filter on sl.tree_spon < 10 into the ON clause as well:
SELECT DISTINCT
tl.species,
ag.age,
sl.tree_spon,
sl.tree_number
FROM age_list ag
INNER JOIN tree_list tl
ON (ag.tree_id = tl.tree_id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN spon_list sl
ON (ag.tree_id = sl.tree_number AND sl.tree_spon < 10)
Change tree_list.tree_id to tl.tree_id
I'm writing a query to find solve the following question:
"For those customer – product combinations where the product belongs to one of the product lines that have ‘Ethernet’ in their name, list the name of the customer, name of the product, the sales last year and total sales year to date."
Now, I have four tables that I need to use to solve this: xproduct, xprodline, and xsales, and xcustomer. These are related in the following ways:
And they have the following columns:
Since xcustomer and xproduct are not directly related, I'm using xsales to join them, but I'm having issues accessing the information I get from inner queries. This is the code I have so far, but it throws "ORA-00904: "S"."SALES_YEAR_TO_DATE": invalid identifier":
SELECT xcustomer.cust_name, PL.prod_name, S.sales_last_year, S.sales_year_to_date FROM xcustomer
JOIN(
SELECT xsales.sales_cust_nbr FROM xsales
JOIN (
SELECT xproduct.prod_name, xprodline.prodline_pyear_sales, xprodline.prodline_ytd_sales, xproduct.prod_nbr FROM xproduct
INNER JOIN xprodline
ON xproduct.prod_prodline = xprodline.prodline_nbr
WHERE prod_prodline= 1
) PL
ON xsales.sales_prod_nbr = PL.prod_nbr
)S
ON S.sales_cust_nbr = xcustomer.cust_nbr;
Try this:
SELECT xcustomer.cust_name, PL.prod_name, S.sales_last_year, S.sales_year_to_date FROM xcustomer
JOIN(
SELECT xsales.sales_cust_nbr, xsales.sales_last_year, xsales.sales_year_to_date FROM xsales
JOIN (
SELECT xproduct.prod_name, xprodline.prodline_pyear_sales, xprodline.prodline_ytd_sales, xproduct.prod_nbr FROM xproduct
INNER JOIN xprodline
ON xproduct.prod_prodline = xprodline.prodline_nbr
WHERE prod_prodline= 1
) PL
ON xsales.sales_prod_nbr = PL.prod_nbr
)S
ON S.sales_cust_nbr = xcustomer.cust_nbr;
You were missing selecting the columns you needed.
You are missing one more column (PROD_NAME) in your subquery. Here is the updated query:
SELECT xcustomer.cust_name,
S.prod_name,
S.sales_last_year,
S.sales_year_to_date
FROM xcustomer
JOIN(
SELECT xsales.sales_cust_nbr, xsales.sales_last_year, xsales.sales_year_to_date, pl.prod_name
FROM xsales
JOIN (
SELECT xproduct.prod_name, xprodline.prodline_pyear_sales, xprodline.prodline_ytd_sales, xproduct.prod_nbr
FROM xproduct
INNER JOIN xprodline
ON xproduct.prod_prodline = xprodline.prodline_nbr
WHERE prod_prodline= 1
) PL
ON xsales.sales_prod_nbr = PL.prod_nbr
)S
ON S.sales_cust_nbr = xcustomer.cust_nbr;
Also, I think you can directly join the tables and simplify your query as follows:
SELECT C.cust_name,
PL.prod_name,
S.sales_last_year,
S.sales_year_to_date
FROM xcustomer C
JOIN xsales S
ON C.cust_nbr = S.sales_cust_nbr
JOIN xprodline PL
ON S.sales_prod_nbr = PL.prod_nbr
JOIN xproduct P
ON PL.prodline_nbr = P.prod_prodline
WHERE P.prod_prodline= 1
Anybody know why this isn't working? I'm getting: ERROR: syntax error at or near "most_recent"
with most_recent as (SELECT MAX(public."Master_playlist".updated_at)
FROM public."Master_playlist")
SELECT * from public."Playlist"
JOIN public."Master_playlist_playlist" on public."Playlist".id = public."Master_playlist_playlist".playlist_id
JOIN public."Master_playlist" on public."Master_playlist_playlist".master_playlist_id = public."Master_playlist".id
WHERE public."Master_playlist".updated_at = most_recent;
Supposed to be getting the most recent date from Master_playlist and then using that to select a Master_playlist to join the inner query with
Thanks! HM
The with clause creates a derived table, which you need select from, using a join or a subquery. You also need to alias the column so you can refer to it afterwards, as in:
with most_recent as (
SELECT MAX(updated_at) max_updated_at
FROM public."Master_playlist"
)
SELECT *
from public."Playlist"
JOIN public."Master_playlist_playlist"
on public."Playlist".id = public."Master_playlist_playlist".playlist_id
JOIN public."Master_playlist"
on public."Master_playlist_playlist".master_playlist_id = public."Master_playlist".id
WHERE public."Master_playlist".updated_at = (SELECT max_updated_at FROM most_recent)
But here, it looks like it is simpler to use a row-limiting query:
select ...
from (
select *
from public."Master_playlist"
order by updated_at desc
limit 1
) mp
inner join public."Master_playlist_playlist" mpp
on mpp.master_playlist_id = mp.id
inner join public."Playlist" p
on p.id = mpp.playlist_id
I have 3 tables:
CP_carthead (idOrder)
CP_cartrows (idOrder, idCartRow)
CP_shipping (idCartRow, idShipping, dateShipped)
There can be multiple idCartRows per idOrder.
I want to get all orders where all its idCartRows exist in CP_shipping. This seems like it should be simple, but I haven't found much on the web.
Here's my query now:
SELECT
s.idOrder
, s.LatestDateShipped
FROM
CP_carthead o
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT
MAX(s.dateShipped) [LatestDateShipped]
, r.idOrder
FROM
CP_shipping s
LEFT OUTER JOIN CP_cartrows r ON s.idCartRow = r.idCartRow
GROUP BY
r.idOrder
) s ON o.idOrder = s.idOrder
Your query is returning rows from "s" and not the orders. Based on your question, I came up with this query:
select o.*
from CP_Carthead o
where o.orderId in (select cr.idOrder
from cp_cartrows cr left outer join
cp_shipping s
on cr.idCartRow = s.IdCartrow
group by cr.idOrder
having count(s.idCartRow) = COUNT(*)
)
The subquery in the in statement is getting orders all of whose cartrows are in shipping.
Still trying to get used to writing queries and I've ran into a problem.
Select count(region)
where (regionTable.A=1) in
(
select jxn.id, count(jxn.id) as counts, regionTable.A
from jxn inner join
V on jxn.id = V.id inner join
regionTable on v.regionID = regionTable.regionID
group by jxn.id, regionTable.A
)
The inner query gives an ID number in one column, the amount of times they appear in the table, and then a bit attribute if they are in region A. The outer query works but the error I get is incorrect syntax near the keyword IN. Of the inner query, I would like a number of how many of them are in region A
You must specify table name in query before where
Select count(region)
from table
where (regionTable.A=1) in
And you must choose one of them.
where regionTable.A = 1
or
where regionTable.A in (..)
Your query has several syntax errors. Based on your comments, I think there is no need for a subquery and you want this:
select jxn.id, count(jxn.id) as counts, regionTable.A
from jxn inner join
V on jxn.id = V.id inner join
regionTable on v.regionID = regionTable.regionID
where regionTable.A = 1
group by jxn.id, regionTable.A
which can be further simplified to:
select jxn.id, count(jxn.id) as counts
, 1 as A --- you can even omit this line
from jxn inner join
V on jxn.id = V.id inner join
regionTable on v.regionID = regionTable.regionID
where regionTable.A = 1
group by jxn.id
You are getting the error because of this line:
where (regionTable.A=1)
You cannot specify a condition in a where in clause, it should only be column name
Something like this may be what you want:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM
(
select jxn.id, count(jxn.id) as counts, regionTable.A
from
jxn inner join
V on jxn.id = V.id inner join
regionTable on v.regionID = regionTable.regionID
group by jxn.id, regionTable.A
) sq
WHERE sq.a = 1
