What is *wrong* with this query???

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 

I give! I'm flummoxed!

 

Here is what I have, 3 tables:

 

schedule

company        building   status0

3                             x           active

4                             x           active

5                             x           active

3                             x           active

3                             x           active

3                             x           active

 

In the end, I want to replace the building id's above. They start out with the non-informative value of '1';

 

company

id      name   status

3         x           active

4         y           active

5         z           active

 

 

building

id     company   name

1           3                 A           active

2           3                 B           active

3           3                 C           active

4           4                 D           active

5           4                 E           active

6           4                 F           active

7           5                 G           active

8           5                 H           active

9           5                 I            active

 

So, every company has 3 schedules. Of the 3, I'd like to select the one with the lowest id.

 

I'm using postgresql 8.1. Yes, ancient, but I have no choice in this affair.

 

select schedule.id as sched_id, bld.id as bid

    from

        schedule

        left join company on schedule.company = company.id

        left join (select * from building where building.company = company.id order by id limit 1)  as bld

    where

        schedule.status = 'active' and company.status = 'active' and bld.status = 'active';

 

I get a syntax error on the the "where".    

 

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "where" at character ….

LINE 6:         where

                       ^

 

If I leave out the where clause entirely, that's an error also,   

ERROR:  syntax error at or near ";" at character ….

LINE 5:          …  as bld ;

                                         ^  <it's right under the semicolon>

 

So, it's expecting ***SOMETHING*** after the "as bld", but it sure isn't going to tell me what.

What am I missing?
