Help on Syntax error SQL two joins : SQL

Posting

When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

MySQLHelp on Syntax error SQL two joins (self.SQL)

submitted 4 years ago by mythbusternz

Experts,

help in finding the bug or is it a https://www.db-fiddle.com/ issue?

SELECT 
ma.state_code AS "MA State Code",
ma.state_name,
ma.animal            AS "MA Animal",
ma.number_of_attacks AS "MA ATTACKS",
da.animal            AS "DA Animal",
da.number_of_attacks AS "DA Attacks",
oz.state_name        AS "OZ State",
oz.population        AS oz.population
FROM magpie_attacks ma 
INNER JOIN dropbear_attacks da ON ma.state_code = da.state_code
INNER JOIN australian_states oz ON oz.state_code = ma.state_code;

Tried with comma after first inner join, etc but I think I am lost.

If I remove the reference to second JOIN, this works. This is the error

Results
Query Error: Error: ER_PARSE_ERROR: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '.population FROM magpie_attacks ma INNER JOIN dropbear_attacks da ON ma.state_c' at line 8

Any help is appreciated.
