What you've got here reduces to select co.co_r_id, co.count as com_count, cor.count as com_unseen from (select ...) co, (select ...) cor on co.co_r_id = cor.co_r_id; which is invalid because "ON something" must be associated with JOIN. You could write either of select co.co_r_id, co.count as com_count, cor.count as com_unseen from (select ...) co join (select ...) cor on co.co_r_id = cor.co_r_id; select co.co_r_id, co.count as com_count, cor.count as com_unseen from (select ...) co, (select ...) cor where co.co_r_id = cor.co_r_id; but you can't mix-and-match. With an inner join there isn't any semantic difference between ON and WHERE, so it's a matter of taste which to use. But with outer joins there's a big difference. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
