I don' t understand your question. Why do you hink you that the brackets would't work ?
I tried that without any problems. Please post your code.
Here is mine:
SELECT * FROM sensei WHERE last_name IN (SELECT last_name FROM sensei UNION ALL select last_name FROM sensei) ORDER BY e_mail;
Here's some code that demonstrates what I mean:
------ Cut Here ------ CREATE DATABASE Foobar; USE Foobar; CREATE TABLE Bar (id int(10) unsigned);
# Works SELECT * FROM Bar;
# Works CREATE TABLE Foo1 SELECT * FROM Bar;
# Works (SELECT * FROM Bar);
# Fails (syntax error) CREATE TABLE Foo2 (SELECT * FROM Bar);
DROP DATABASE Foobar; ------ Cut Here ------
Using MacOS so please forgive any errors due to case-sensitivity.
