Asking for your help on this Oracle query. It's giving me the error 2 "ORA-00905: missing keyword". It was working fine before I added the LEFT JOIN statement. Obviously it won't deliver the information as we need it without the LEFT JOIN statement.
Please provide any help to know which keyword is missing in this query
Thanks a lot!:

Subquery table: TABLE_RESOLVERS

The plus sign is Oracle syntax for an outer join. There isn't a minus operator for joins. An outer join means return all rows from one table. Also return the rows from the outer joined where there's a match on the join key. If there's no matching row, return null.
ORA-00905: missing keyword. As the message suggests, your code is missing a keyword where there should be one in order for the query to run successfully. The Solution. According to the Oracle documentation, the action for this error is to “correct the syntax.”
Performing Outer Joins Using the (+) Symbol In practice, the + symbol is placed directly in the conditional statement and on the side of the optional table (the one which is allowed to contain empty or null values within the conditional).
In Oracle we don't include the AS
when declaring a table alias. Instead of
) AS TABLE_RESOLVERS
write
) TABLE_RESOLVERS
This is one example when Oracle syntax is more restrictive than some other flavours of SQL. It is also inconsistent with the declaration of column aliases, which is unfortunate but almost certainly it's too complex to change this far down the road.
