[GENERAL] PGError: ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table

2010-11-25 Thread James B. Byrne
I am getting this error:

PGError: ERROR:  missing FROM-clause entry for table ca_customs_entry
LINE 1: ..._entries.is_cadex_transmitted = 'f') ORDER BY 
ca_customs...

The code is generated by a Ruby-on-Rails-3.0.1 ActiveRecord model:

SELECT ca_customs_shipments.* FROM ca_customs_shipments INNER
JOIN ca_customs_entries ON
ca_customs_entries.ca_customs_shipment_id =
ca_customs_shipments.id WHERE
(ca_customs_entries.is_cadex_transmitted = 'f') ORDER BY
ca_customs_entry.is_across_transmitted,
ca_customs_entry.is_across_rejected,
ca_customs_entry.is_across_accepted,
ca_customs_entry.is_cadex_released LIMIT 5 OFFSET 0


From what I have been able to piece together for myself I suspect
that the cause may be the absence of an 'AS alias' immediately
following the 'FROM ca_customs_shipments' segment.  PG evidently
treats this as required element whereas standard SQL does not. If
someone could confirm that my suspicions are well founded then I
will raise an issue to handle the matter with the software
maintainers.

On the other hand, if there is another cause of this then I would
like to have that information as well.

Sincerely,

Looks to me like the problem is you are trying to ORDER BY columns in
ca_customs_entry, but there is no such table for that (don't confuse it
with ca_customs_entries).  You need to either set a matching alias, or fix
the table name qualifier in those order by columns.

That was exactly the problem.  Thank you very much.  I am afraid
that the mental gymnastics that Rails requires--table names are
plural, corresponding model classes are singular--often trips me up.
 I would never have seen that error on my own.
