[SQL] SELECT FROM t1 WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM t2 UNION SELECT id FROM t3)

[Christophe Boyanique]

Hello,

I've got a problem with UNION and SELECT IN

I have a first table:

CREATE TABLE products
(
  idProduct   INT4,
  name        VARCHAR(32)
);

and two others tables:

CREATE TABLE orders
(
  id          INT4,
  ts          TIMESTAMP
);

CREATE TABLE preorders
(
  id          INT4,
  ts          TIMESTAMP
);

(I reduced the tables to be as simple as possible)

I want to retrieve id of products from the tables orders and preorders;
and order it by the name of the product. So I tried:

SELECT idProduct FROM products
  WHERE idProduct IN
    (SELECT id FROM orders WHERE ts>'2000-10-01 17:04:00'
    UNION SELECT id FROM preorders WHERE ts>'2000-10-01 17:04:00')
  ORDER by name;

and I've got a parse error near UNION or SELECT depending of the
presence
of () between the SELECTs.

I definitively need some help to solve this problem :-|

I asked to a friend to test it with Oracle and that seems to work so I
really don't know what to do...

Christophe.
