I thought subqueries in sense of commad inside the command (in my example two select commands). It works as you proposed an I thought in this case (subqueries) that I need different syntax for sqlQury function combining SQL query and paste.
But now I have another problem and again sorry if it is to general and basic but I just can't find the right option to set up. Namely, when I import table from SQL server into R, columns that are defined in SQL table as char (with leading zeros as 001, 002,...) are imported as integers. Could you, please, guide me on some options that should be set up to solve this problem?
