Question

I have the following query and it gives me an error :”Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘GROUP’.” <-shows me the second GROUP BY statement…Can you tell me why?

SELECTventId
,TargetUser
,TargetDomain
,String05
,Amount
,max(Amount) maximum 
FROM
   (SELECT    EventId
              , TargetUser
              , TargetDomain
             , String05 
FROM  AdtServer.dvAll 
GROUP BY EventId, TargetUser, TargetDomain, String05)

GROUP BY EventId,TargetUser,TargetDomain,String05,Amount //ERROR SHOWS HERE

ORDER BY maximum,TargetUser

If I create view for inner query it works fine(But I don’t want to create a view because if my query is long-running query it gives me time-out).

You need to give an alias to your table:

SELECTventId 
,TargetUser 
,TargetDomain 
,String05 
,Amount 
,max(Amount) maximum  
FROM 
   (SELECT    EventId 
              , TargetUser 
              , TargetDomain 
             , String05  
    FROM  AdtServer.dvAll  
    GROUP BY EventId, TargetUser, TargetDomain, String05
    ) x
GROUP BY EventId,TargetUser,TargetDomain,String05,Amount 
ORDER BY maximum,TargetUser
