Join table to a subquery

问题

In a previous post someone helped me with a subquery. Now I'd like to add to the query but am getting an error message. (I'm still learning rules around subqueries.)

Updated SQL below. The error is:

[Amazon](500310) Invalid operation: invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for table "application_stages";

SELECT t1.*, applications.status, applications.stage_name
FROM application_stages t1
JOIN (
    select application_id, max(exited_on) as exited_on
    from application_stages 
    group by application_id
) t2 
USING (application_id,exited_on)
join applications on application_stages.application_id = applications.id
where application_id in ('91649746', '91991364', '96444221')

When you assign aliases, you need to consistently use them in all clauses and to avoid ambiguity of same named columns in other tables. Consider following adjustment

SELECT s.*, a.status, a.stage_name
FROM application_stages s
JOIN (
    select application_id, max(exited_on) as exited_on
    from application_stages 
    group by application_id
) m 
USING (application_id, exited_on)
JOIN applications a ON a.application_id = s.id
WHERE a.application_id IN ('91649746', '91991364', '96444221')

Use window functions for this:

select ast.*, a.status, a.stage_name
from (select ast.*,
             rank() over (partition by application_id order by exited_on desc) as seqnum
      from application_stages ast
     ) ast join
     applications a
     on ast.application_id = a.id
where ast.seqnum = 1 and
      ast.application_id in ('91649746', '91991364', '96444221');

Your query has several issues:

• application_id in the where is ambiguous
• application_stages has the alias t1, so the former is not recognized

Note that if application_id is a number (which I'm guessing is the case), then the constants should not have single quotes).
