In MySQL, a derived table is a table that is created from a subquery in a larger SQL statement. When creating a derived table, it's mandatory to provide an alias for the table, which is used to reference it in the rest of the SQL statement.
The error "Every derived table must have its own alias" occurs when a derived table in a SQL statement doesn't have an alias specified.
To fix this error, you need to add an alias for the derived table. Consider the following example:
S
ELECT *
FROM (
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
WHERE column3 = 'value'
) AS dt
In this example, the subquery creates a derived table that is given the alias "dt". The outer query then selects all columns from this derived table using the specified alias.
By providing an alias for the derived table, you can avoid the "Every derived table must have its own alias" error and ensure that your SQL statement executes correctly.
