SQLite treats double-quoted strings as column and table identifiers. Use single-quotes for literals.
SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE description='someval' AND foreign_key_id=(select id from tbl2 where name='Joe'); -Clark ----- Original Message ---- From: Dermot <paik...@googlemail.com> To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 8:35:52 AM Subject: [sqlite] Newbie question Hi, I am very green with SQL entirely so I apologise in advance for what might be a simple query. I want to do a select query a bit like this: SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE description="someval" AND foreign_key_id=(select id from tbl2 where name="Joe"); This gives me a syntax error and my other efforts are not yielding results. I am not sure what the term is for such as statement, compound perhaps? TIA, Dp. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
