MySQL Syntax error in UNION ALL - mysql

Question

I have a query that uses multiple UNION ALL. I'm getting a syntax error and I can't find it. I think it has to do with using multiple unions. I'm only using MySQL. Any help is appreciated.

AND dtime < NOW()
AND id='984121' ))
ORDER BY dtime
AND counter != 0) AS MainTable
GROUP BY WEEKOFYEAR(dtime)
HAVING SUM(counter) > 0
If I change the 'id=' to id in and include the other id number there and drop the second union all it works. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the second union all. This statement is built dynamically so I cannot easily change to using in instead of multiple union alls.
Let me know if I'm not explaining this clearly and I'll provide more detail.

Answer 1

check your statement just above the line where you've written (this IS line 41)
Try to remove/update this statement and execute your query.
ORDER BY
dtime
AND counter != 0
we can't use order in between the UNION & UNION ALL. Order by should be at the very last, after all UNION / UNION ALL statements
