If you look at the SQLite grammar in lang.html, you'll see that parentheses are not allowed around a table-list. That's why you're getting an error.
If you remove either of the first 2 left parens (and its corresponding right paren), the query will work, but the outer select and the first subselect serve no purpose. It's hard to predict performance just by reading a query, but this looks pretty inefficient. How about select * from INSCLAIMS t0 left join (select * from INSCLAIMS_CONCAT where INSCLAIMS_CONCAT_FIELD_ID = 'INSCLAIMS_POLICYNO') t1 on t1.INSCLAIMS_ID = t0.INSCLAIMS_ID; --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
