If you break the above down a bit, you have:
select a,b
from
(
billing.item join
(select * from
(
billing.invoice join
billing.customer
on (id_customer_shipped = customer_uid and address='pgh')
)
as temp2
)
)
as temp;
What the system is complaining about is the subselect (select * from ... )
not having an alias. You've aliased the billing.invoice join
billing.customer one and (billing.item join (...)) one, but not the
subselect. In fact, I believe the two aliases you're using aren't strictly
necessary. Also, the above appears to be missing the condition for the
outermost join.
Maybe something like the following will work with a filled in on
condition:
select a,b
from
(
billing.item join
(select * from
(
billing.invoice join
billing.customer
on (id_customer_shipped = customer_uid and address='pgh')
)
)
as temp
on (...)
)
