I have a mysql query that uses concatenation to combine multiple queries into a single result set. The request works fine.
When I want to use the same query to create a view, I get an error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'union select hulaminloadnumber2,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hul' at line 2
My query that works fine is:
select hulaminloadnumber1,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber1>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber2,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber2>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber3,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber3>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber4,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber4>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber5,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber5>0
My request to create a view:
create view View_LoadvsCustomer as (
select hulaminloadnumber1,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber1>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber2,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber2>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber3,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber3>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber4,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber4>0
union
select hulaminloadnumber5,deliveryid,drop1customer from localjhb where hulaminloadnumber5>0)
this causes the error below in PHPMyadmin:
Queries are all from a poorly designed table, so there should be no problems with formatting or sorting. Is it possible to create a view at the request of a union?
Any advice is appreciated.
Have a GREAT weekend, Ryan
