Hi all. If anyone has any experience in using sqlYoga for joins, I have a curious issue. The following code produces a variable tFoundOrphans containing a list of service record IDs with no corresponding siteid in the Sites table, so I know the query object works. However, when I use sqlquery_delete with the same object, I get an error!
sqlyoga_executesql_err,0,0,Unknown column 'sites.siteid' in 'where clause' (DELETE FROM service WHERE sites.siteid IS NULL) Here's the code: put sqlquery_createObject("service") into qServiceObjectA sqlquery_set qServiceObjectA, "select clause", "service.siteid, sites.siteid" sqlquery_set qServiceObjectA, "distinct", true sqlquery_set qServiceObjectA, "joins", \ "LEFT OUTER JOIN sites ON service.siteid=sites.siteid" sqlquery_set qServiceObjectA, "conditions", "sites.siteid IS NULL" put dbQuery(qServiceObjectA, "data") into tFoundOrphans setStatusMsg "Deleting service orphans from the service table...", tParentCard if tFoundOrphans is empty then answer info "No orphaned service records found!" as sheet else sqlquery_delete qServiceObjectA Answer info "Orphaned service records have been purged!" as sheet end if The SQL I am shooting for is: SELECT DISTINCT service.siteid FROM service LEFT OUTER JOIN sites ON service.siteid=sites.siteid WHERE sites.siteid IS NULL; This works also in a SQL editor.
