Thread: Order By Clause Fails to Parse

Order By Clause Fails to Parse Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have an SQL statement that I recently added some new functionality to and now it is failing to parse. The first query below fails to parse in the client and the ExecuteSQL tool, the second works fine but does not produce the results that I need. If the statements are ran in Query Analyzer they both work fine. Can anyone see why this statement would fail? Keep in mind I am using version 6.2.6 and the queries below are not the actual queries that need to run but are queries that produce the same errors and results.

(replace the accountID with a valid accountid)

#1.
select account, (select top 1 lastname from sysdba.contact where accountid = 'AIRMJA000MRQ' order by lastname desc) from sysdba.account where accountid = 'AIRMJA000MRQ'

#2.
select account, (select top 1 lastname from sysdba.contact where accountid = 'AIRMJA000MRQ') from sysdba.account where accountid = 'AIRMJA000MRQ'

I had this problem too, I think it does not allow to "order by" in this version

you can write another sql...

select top 1 account,lastname from contact where accountid='AIRMJA000MRQ' order by lastname desc

select top 1 a.account,c.lastname from contact c
left join account a on a.accountid=c.accountid
where c.accountid='AIRMJA000MRQ'
order by c.lastname desc

it's more correctly
