Question

I have the following query working on sql server managemengt studio but it does not seem to work on phpmyadmin, Can anyone figure out what is wrong, It gives this error message “#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 ‘1 google_rank FROM eig_ranking mi WHERE mi.project_id = m.project_’ at line 7”

I am using MySQL Version : 5.5.20 and php Version 5.3.13 and microsoft server 2008

 SELECT project_id,

   google_rank,

       COALESCE(
       (
       SELECT TOP 1 google_rank
       FROM eig_ranking mi
       WHERE mi.project_id = m.project_id
       ORDER BY
             project_id
       ), 0 - google_rank AS movement

       ,keyword
       ,domain

FROM  eig_ranking m where DATEDIFF(WEEK,rank_date, GETDATE())= 1 and google_rank!=0

order by movement desc

Answer 1

It your database is MySQL, then you need to write MySQL syntax and not Microsoft SQL Server syntax – replace TOP with LIMIT, and DATEDIFF arguments with the MySQL format, GETDATE() with NOW(), etc.
