Unresolved reference

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports unresolved SQL references.

Example (MySQL):

CREATE TABLE users(id INT, name VARCHAR(40));
CREATE TABLE admins(id INT, col1 INT);

SELECT users.id, admins.id FROM admins WHERE admins.id > 1;

The users.id column is unresolved because the users table is missing in the FROM clause.
