First remove the python select * from jfcs_balancedue(parameter) f(enrolleeid varchar,course_cost decimal, paid_amt decimal)
the jfcs_balancedue is a table function, f is the alias (with the column alias list/datatype of the columns returned by the function).

What I don't understand is the "f(enrolleeid varchar, ...)" I have no idea what it's for? Would some kind soul educate me.
