Code Block
languagesql
select * from PROJECT

will work.

Whereas

Code Block
languagesql
select * from project

will not.

KEY is a reserved word

As other database vendors, SQL Cloud does have reserved words that must be surrounded with accents or square brackets

These are the rules for conditions resolution:

  1. The table in FROM clause will get the conditions from the WHERE clause directly

  2. The rest of the tables will take them from the JOIN ON conditions only.

In other words,

  1. WHERE conditions will be applied only to the table only (FROM) at the beginning of the query executionresolution.

  2. Next, JOINs will be resolved taking only ON conditions into consideration (WHERE conditions will be ignored here at this stage)

  3. The rest of the WHERE conditions will be applies to filter the JOIN (2) results.applied after all the JOINS have been resolved

Aggregation conditions do not support aliases

Please pay attention to the having condition: count(*) > 2

Code Block
languagesql
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

Code Block
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!
