				Hi,
 
I have to run a sql query in esql as below, but it fails with syntax error.
 
 
Simple select query works fine.
 
 
Can you please check and help in syntax error for below sql query.
 
 
select top(1) employeeId, amount ,paidamount  from dbname.schema.tablename
 
where [deliveryStatus ]= 'Pending'
 
and employeeId = '12345'
 
order by creationDate desc
 
 
Regards,

				That's an SQL select statement.
 
 
It's not an ESQL select statement. |

				Try to run the sql query use a PASSTHRU code
 
 
Syntax looks something like this
 
 
DECLARE cSQLQuery CHARACTER;
 
SET cSQLQuery = 'select top(1) employeeId, amount ,paidamount from dbname.schema.tablename 
 
where [deliveryStatus ]= 'Pending' 
 
and employeeId = '12345' 
 
order by creationDate desc
 
 
SET Environment.Variables.MetaInfo.SqlResult[] = PASSTHRU (cSQLQuery);
 
 
Your query results will be in an array form in the environment variables. |

Ah, good point.  I missed the order by clause.  ESQL Select doesn't support ORDER BY or GROUP BY. |
