I'm trying to do a really simple sort on a varchar column, and I get a syntax error. Tested both with PHP and phpmyadmin.
This is the query:
SELECT * FROM cards_available_properties ORDER BY option
this is the error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'option LIMIT 0, 30' at line 1

OPTION is a reserved keyword. escape it with backtick.
SELECT * FROM cards_available_properties ORDER BY `option`

How do you use the "WITH" clause in MySQL?

I want to use a SQL Query with the WITH clause an I get a Syntax Error.
I´m using MySQL Version 5.6.28
Here a simple Code example
WITH alias_test AS (SELECT id, title FROM `tips_locations`)
SELECT id, title
FROM alias_test
Here the error I get in my SQL Tool
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'alias_test AS (SELECT id, title FROM tips_locations) SELECT
id, title FROM ali' at line 1
Can you Help me?
MySQL doesn't support WITH clause or CTE and thus the error. Alternative, you can either use a temporary table or a normal table like
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE alias_test AS
SELECT id, title FROM `tips_locations`;
SELECT id, title
FROM alias_test;

I'm trying to run the query
select * from Order;
I m getting the following syntax error in sql fiddle.
Could not figure out the correct syntax.
You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version
for the right syntax to use near 'Order' at line 1

Order is a MySQL reserved word. Change your query to use backticks:
select * from `Order`;
Order is a reserved keyword for mysql refer to this link;
Simply change your table name from Order to orders.
Bye!

Any solution to solve my problem?
use backquote :
SELECT * FROM `GROUP`
you can also alias your table name for later use in WHERE clause for instance:
SELECT * FROM `GROUP` g WHERE g.id = 1

What is the right syntax for MySQL TOP? [duplicate]

Is there an alternative to TOP in MySQL?

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this query? It's printing the else statement, and it's giving the error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '2 * FROM `sql_tbl`' at line 1.
SELECT TOP 2 * FROM `sql_tbl`
The equivalent "TOP" syntax in MySQL is "LIMIT":
So:
SELECT TOP 2 * FROM `sql_tbl`
becomes:
SELECT * FROM `sql_tbl` LIMIT 2

I've came across strange issue. I know I'm missing something very minor. Can Any One solve the problem plz.
This is my table:
cat_id name desc
1 Cricket Schedule
2 Live Cricket Live Cricket Desc
3 Fixtures
4 Videos
I ran following update query and worked fine.
UPDATE cats
set name='New Fixtures'
WHERE cat_id='3'
But When I Run Following Query, It returns error:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'desc='New Fixtures Desc' WHERE cat_id='3'' at line 1
The Query is :
UPDATE cats
set desc='New Fixtures Desc'
WHERE cat_id='3'
Plz Tell me What I am Missing Here
desc is a reserved keyword, you must escape it with backtick
UPDATE cats
set `desc` = 'New Fixtures Desc'
WHERE cat_id = '3'
