sqloraclepostgresqlsubquery

subquery in FROM must have an alias

I have this query I have written in PostgreSQL that returns an error saying:

[Err] ERROR:
LINE 3: FROM (SELECT DISTINCT (identifiant) AS made_only_recharge

This is the whole query:

SELECT COUNT (made_only_recharge) AS made_only_recharge
FROM (
    SELECT DISTINCT (identifiant) AS made_only_recharge
    FROM cdr_data
    WHERE CALLEDNUMBER = '0130'
    EXCEPT
    SELECT DISTINCT (identifiant) AS made_only_recharge
    FROM cdr_data
    WHERE CALLEDNUMBER != '0130'
)

I have a similar query in Oracle that works fine. The only change is where I have EXCEPT in Oracle I have replaced it with the MINUS key word. I am new to Postgres and don't know what it is asking for. What's the correct way of handling this?

Solution

  • Add an ALIAS onto the subquery,

    SELECT  COUNT(made_only_recharge) AS made_only_recharge
FROM    
    (
        SELECT DISTINCT (identifiant) AS made_only_recharge
        FROM cdr_data
        WHERE CALLEDNUMBER = '0130'
        EXCEPT
        SELECT DISTINCT (identifiant) AS made_only_recharge
        FROM cdr_data
        WHERE CALLEDNUMBER != '0130'
    ) AS derivedTable                           -- <<== HERE
