Hi simple query raise an error "Cannot use an aggregate or window function in a WHERE clause, use HAVING (for aggregate only) instead." SELECT * FROM RDB$RELATIONS R WHERE R.RDB$SYSTEM_FLAG = 1 AND (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT R.RDB$RELATION_NAME) FROM RDB$RELATION_FIELDS RF WHERE RF.RDB$RELATION_NAME = R.RDB$RELATION_NAME) > 11 i spend hour to find what is going on in my real complicated query ;-) And the reason of an error is wrong alias from parent stream in COUNT(DISTINCT R.RDB$RELATION_NAME) If we change it to COUNT(DISTINCT RF.RDB$RELATION_NAME) it is working ok and as intended. I write here, to not spam the tracker, because i do not know if this is simple possible to catch this situation and provide more informative error message. Maybe message should be something like this "cannot aggregate fields from outside stream(relation)" or simply above message should be extended with such info. regards, Karol Bieniaszewski
