Android Question SQL WHERE clause sintax error

[FERNANDO SILVEIRA]

Hello guys,

I have the following SQL JOIN statement

SELECT A.NamePerson AS "Person", B.NamePerson || " e " || C.NamePerson AS "Dads" FROM Persons A 
   LEFT JOIN Persons B ON A.CodMom = B.CodPerson 
   LEFT JOIN Persons C ON A.CodDad = C.CodPerson 
   ORDER BY A.NamePerson

That works fine producing the expected result. However, I decided to apply the following: WHERE A.NamePerson LIKE "M%" at the end and then I get an SQL sintax error.

SELECT A.NamePerson AS "Person", B.NamePerson || " e " || C.NamePerson AS "Dads" FROM Persons A 
   LEFT JOIN Persons B ON A.CodMom = B.CodPerson 
   LEFT JOIN Persons C ON A.CodDad = C.CodPerson 
   ORDER BY A.NamePerson 
   WHERE A.NamePerson LIKE "M%"

The same sintax error also happens if I put WHERE clause right after the FROM Persons A.

This seems to be a bad SQL understanding from my side because this error also happens when I try it using SQLITE EXPERT database interface.

Can someone teach me how to implement this WHERE condition in my SELECT JOIN?

Did you try to insert the Where clause before Order By?

Tried to insert the Where clause before Order By?

Haven't tried that, but now I did and it worked!!

Thank you, Luca...
