SQL sentence problems...

Mon, 04 Oct 2010 17:05:46 GMT

Hi,

it seems that theres a problem with the following SQL sentence:

SELECT *

FROM table1, table2;

WHERE table1.id = 3 AND table1.name = table2.id

table1.name and table2.id contains "name". It's just a diferent field name with same info.

I've tested it in my SQL frontend tool and it works perfectly.

Any ideas....???

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

You will have to specify all the feild names instead of '*' (in the load script also).

Regards,

Syed.

Hello,

That usually happens to me in one of the following:

1.- There are duplcate names of fields in the query, when they come from different tables, and not using a LOAD statement.

2.- The ODBC / OLEDB driver doesn't understand a comma or some other character in the FROM clause.

I have worked that around renaming fields with a LOAD stantement or using an INNER JOIN clause instead of a FROM / WHERE table.field = table2.field2.

Hope that helps!

Maybe it is just a mistyping, but please check it - there must not be ';' before 'WHERE'.

Ops.... mistyping!

There's no ";" after the from line.

Both tables have fields with same names (but different data!) and linked fields are designed with different names (table1.id is linked with table2.name but there's also a table2.id field).

Miguel (or anybody), could you give me an example in order to solve it? (I'm a database newbie....).

Thank you very much for alll the answers.

Data:LOAD Field1, Field1_2, Field2;SQL SELECT t1.Field1, t2.Field1 AS Field1t2, t2.Field2 FROM table1 t1INNER JOIN table2 t2 on t1.name = t2.idWHERE t1.id = 3;

Hope that helps

There's a mistake explaining that there's no FROM linked with the previous LOAD.

Anyway, it works and I've loaded all the info I need.

Thank you so much!
