to display the column and their metadata of a given table:

...

Table, column and function names are case sensitive (Uppercase)

In example:

select * from PROJECT

will work.

select * from project

will not.

No schema names

Many database vendors group their tables into schemas (i.e.: PUBLIC). SQL Cloud does not support them.

SELECT `i`.`KEY`as `Issue`, count(*) as `Num. comments`
FROM ISSUE `i`
LEFT JOIN ISSUECOMMENT `ic` ON `ic`.`ISSUEID` = `i`.`ID`
WHERE `i`.`JQL` = 'PROJECT = TALH'
GROUP BY `i`.`KEY`
HAVING count(*) > 2

Works!

In this query the condition has been modified to uses column aliases: `Num. comments` > 2

SELECT `i`.`KEY`as `Issue`, count(*) as `Num. comments`
FROM ISSUE `i`
LEFT JOIN ISSUECOMMENT `ic` ON `ic`.`ISSUEID` = `i`.`ID`
WHERE `i`.`JQL` = 'PROJECT = TALH'
GROUP BY `i`.`KEY`
HAVING `Num. comments` > 2

Not works!

Subqueries are not supported
