A derived table is a table that is created from the result of a query. It is temporary and does not exist on its own. A derived table must have its own alias in order to be identified. This error code happens because the query is trying to reference a table that does not exist.
Other common searches for this error include:
- error code: 1248. every derived table must have its own alias
- every derived table must have its own alias
1. Add an alias to each derived table in the query
- Go to the Query Editor and open the query.
- On the toolbar, click the Alias button.
- In the Alias dialog box, type the alias for the table you want to add an alias to.
- Click OK.
- Repeat steps 2-4 for each table you want to add an alias to.
2. Use a CTE (Common Table Expression) for each derived table
- In the query editor, create a CTE named "Derived Tables"
- In the Derived Tables CTE, select the tables to be fixed and alias them.
- In the "Select columns" list, select the columns to be fixed and alias them.
- In the "Select expressions" list, select the expressions to be used to fix the columns.
- Click "Fix columns" to fix the columns.
3. Convert each derived table to a subquery in the FROM clause
In the example, the derived table "Employees" must have an alias "Emp", so the following steps must be followed:
- In the FROM clause, replace "Employees" with "Emp".
- In the SELECT clause, replace "Emp" with "Employees".
- In the WHERE clause, replace "Emp" with "Employees."
4. Use a view for each derived table
- In the application's main menu, select File > New > View.
- Enter the name of the derived table in the Name text box.
- In the Table Properties dialog, select the Derived Table check box.
- In the Alias text box, enter the name of the derived table's alias.
- Click OK.
- In the application's main menu, select File > Save As.
- In the Save As dialog, enter the name of the view file in the File name text box.
- Click Save.
