Question

SELECT 'Q' AS TYPE, 
       q.question AS value, 
       q.date
  FROM questions q
 WHERE q.user_id =39
UNION ALL 
SELECT 'A' AS TYPE, 
       q.question AS value, 
       a.date
  FROM answers a,
       questions q
 WHERE a.question_id = q.id
   AND WHERE a.user_id =39
ORDER BY `date` DESC

database design:

• questions{id,user_id,question,date}
• answers{id,question_id,user_id,answer,date}

error:

Answer 1

There are two WHERE-clauses in the lower part of the query. You need to literally remove just the last word WHERE. The error description is all you need.
