Subject SQL syntax problem
Author Yves Glodt
Hello,

I've got a problem with a statement.
First, this is the DB:
-----------------------

CREATE TABLE ADDRESS
(
CATEGORY INTEGER NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
KEYINDEX INTEGER NOT NULL,
ADDRESS BLOB SUB_TYPE TEXT SEGMENT SIZE 100,
DATE_MODIFIED VARCHAR(25),
HOST_MODIFIED VARCHAR(25),
USER_MODIFIED VARCHAR(100),
PRIMARY KEY (KEYINDEX)
)
;
CREATE INDEX MYX ON ADDRESS (CATEGORY,NAME,KEYINDEX);

CREATE TABLE CATEGORIES
(
C_NUMBER INTEGER NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR(50),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(100),
PRIMARY KEY (C_NUMBER)
)
;
CREATE INDEX CATX ON CATEGORIES (C_NUMBER);

This is the query:
----------------------
SELECT ADDRESS.CATEGORY,COUNT(ADDRESS.KEYINDEX),CATEGORIES.NAME FROM
ADDRESS,CATEGORIES WHERE ADDRESS.CATEGORY=CATEGORIES.C_NUMBER GROUP BY
CATEGORY;


This is the resulting error:
-------------------------------
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -104
Dynamic SQL Error
-SQL error code = -104
-invalid column reference


I've tried *exactly* this query with the same db on mysql, and I got a
result. Therefo I think that the syntax in itself is correct.
Is there an Interbase (Version is 6.01) limit, or am I the limit :(

I also tried different ways for aliases (A.CATEGORY ... from ADDRESS A),
but this leads to the same error as well.


(btw, are the indexes ok or should I modify them. There are two from of
selects: Everythin from a single category, or one specifiy record,
selected by KEYINDEX)

hm, and p.s.: readline support would SO MUCH enhance isql ;-)
