Seems SQLite doesn't like the SELECT INTO construct. This works
CREATE TABLE "#B_temp" AS SELECT id, A_id, word, number FROM B WHERE id IN (SELECT MAX(id) FROM B GROUP BY A_id); CREATE TABLE "#C_temp" AS SELECT id, A_id, word, number FROM C WHERE id IN (SELECT MAX(id) FROM C GROUP BY A_id); SELECT A.*, "#B_temp".*, "#C_temp".* FROM A LEFT OUTER JOIN "#B_temp" ON A.id = "#B_temp".A_id LEFT OUTER JOIN "#C_temp" on A.id = "#C_temp".A_id; Michael On Tuesday, March 11, 2014 7:57:36 PM UTC-4, Michael Weylandt wrote: > > I think I'm looking for something like this: > > CREATE TABLE #B_temp(id INTEGER, A_id INTEGER, word VARCHAR, number > INTEGER); > CREATE TABLE #C_temp(id INTEGER, A_id INTEGER, word VARCHAR, number > INTEGER); > SELECT * FROM B WHERE id IN (SELECT MAX(id) FROM B GROUP BY A_id) INTO > #B_temp; > SELECT * FROM C WHERE id IN (SELECT MAX(id) FROM C GROUP BY A_id) INTO > #C_temp; > SELECT A.* , #B_temp.*, #C_temp.* FROM A LEFT OUTER JOIN #B_temp ON A.id = > #B_temp.A_id LEFT OUTER JOIN #C_temp ON A.id = #C_temp.A_id; > > but with all the nice generality that comes from sqlalchemy. > > Thanks for the quick response, > > Michael > > On Tuesday, March 11, 2014 7:41:32 PM UTC-4, Michael Bayer wrote: >> >> can you express the exact query you want in SQL?
