Dear all, I have the following query. When executed in MySQL I get an error on the first sub-select, and I can't find why:
select slbc.stockcode, s.description, slp.qtyinstock, smax.pluqty, (slp.qtyinstock / smax.pluqty) from stocklevelbc slbc, stock s, stocklevel slp, stock smax, stocklevelbc slbcmax where slbc.stockcode = s.stockcode and slbc.restcode = "NIC-PAG-1" and slp.plu = s.plu and slbc.restcode = slp.restcode and smax.stockcode=slbcmax.stockcode and slbcmax.stocklevelid in (select z.stocklevelid from stocklevelbc z, stock ss where z.restcode=slbc.restcode and z.stockcode in (select sss.stockcode from stock sss where sss.plu = s.plu) order by qtytransfered desc) The tables in use are: STOCK ----------- StockCode varchar(30) Description varchar(100) PLU varchar(20) PLUQty decimal(10,4) STOCKLEVELBC -------------------------- StocklevelID int(11) auto_increment RestCode varchar(20) StockCode varchar(30) QtyInStock decimal(10,4) QtyTransfered decimal(10,4) STOCKLEVEL ---------------------- StocklevelID int(11) auto_increment RestCode varchar(20) PLU varchar(20) QtyInStock decimal(10,4) QtyTransfered decimal(10,4) The idea is that there are several stock codes that are the same product, but different packagings. All "same products" have the SAME *PLU* code, so that they are "grouped" together. When sales are made (these are for a restaurant), the sale is done from the PLU and NOT from the stockcode, because products are purchased in bottles, but sold in glasses, so we cannot know which bottle was opened to sell a glass of whisky for example. So I have the QtyInStock in the STOCKLEVEL table showing the stocklevel for each PLU. Now, I want to know how many BOTTLES this QtyInStock refers to, by dividing the QtyInStock by the number of the PLUQty for the "MOST PURCHASED TYPE OF PACKAGING/BOTTLE" For example: Carlsberg beer (small bottle - 33CL) - Bottles transferred = 500 bottles Carlsberg beer (large bottle - 63CL) - Bottles transferred = 200 bottles Carlsberg beer (common PLU) - QtyInStock = 20,000CL Results should be: => Most popular packaging - Small Bottle 33CL => QtyInStock represented as a number of most popular packaging in stock = 20,000 / 33 = 606.06 Any ideas VERY much appreciated....
