MySQL - create view using subquery in FROM clause

Question

I want to create view in MySQL using a subquery

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW `V_TASK_TRANSFER` (`REF_ID`, `DATE_CREATE`, `DATE_TRX`,

    `STATUS_TF`, `USER_ID`

    );

but it gave me

Error #1349 - View's SELECT contains a subquery in the FROM clause

How can I work around this limitation?

Answer 1

Try to do it without subquery -

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW V_TASK_TRANSFER AS
    SELECT T.REF_ID,
      T.DATE_CREATE,
      T.DATE_TRX,

Answer 2

As per documentation:

MySQL Docs

• The SELECT statement cannot contain a subquery in the FROM clause.

Your workaround would be to create a view for each of your subqueries.

Then access those views of subqueries within your final view.
