Hi, I'm having problems with the syntax of a select statement. I have two tables linked together by account number.
The first table (Users) looks similar to this |User_Account | User_Name | User_Address |X10010100110 | Michael Smith | 1000 North Main St |X10010100240 | David Wilson | 1200 State Street The second table (Devices) looks like this |Device_Account | Device_Name | Installaton_Date |X10010100240 | Ultra 5 | 19981010 |X10010100240 | HP1055CM | 20010528 |X10010100240 | LEXMARK | 20010529 |X10010100110 | HP1055CM | 20010528 |X10010100211 | HP LJET 4M | 20010528 There is a one to many relationship between users and devices and not all users have devices. I'd like to select a list of User accounts with certain devices. Select User_Account from Users as a, Devices as b WHERE a.User_Account = (Select DISTINCT(b.Device_Account) from b.Devices WHERE b.Device_Name LIKE 'HP%' ) I get an error code Error Code:1064 You have an error in your SQL Syntax near 'Select DISTINCT'. I'm running 3.23.49 which I know is not the most current..it was installed with another package. Thanks for any advice. I know my SQL skills are limited!
