cascaded select

[Mark]

Hello,

how to do a select ... from select in MSSQL similar to Oracle? eg.

select hour
from (
select substring( daily, 9,2 ) as hour
from daytab
where userid = 12
)

results in "incorrect syntax near ')'"

thank you and regards
Mark

Hello, Mark

In SQL Server (and in ANSI SQL-92), the derived tables (subqueries used
in the FROM clause) need an alias:

select hour
from (
select substring( daily, 9,2 ) as hour
from daytab
where userid = 12
) A
