n1QL role attribute error in where clause

SQL++
1

Hi the Community
i have a simple request in N1QL (DP4) wich generate a syntax error when i use the attribute role in the where clause :

select role in catalog where role=“SELLER”

{
“requestID”: “96b6b17d-3fcd-440d-ba24-845294b22c6a”,
“errors”: [
{
“code”: 5000,
“msg”: “syntax error”
}
],
“status”: “fatal”,
“metrics”: {
“elapsedTime”: “1.0001ms”,
“executionTime”: “1.0001ms”,
“resultCount”: 0,
“resultSize”: 0,
“errorCount”: 1
}
}

is it a bug ?

Best regards
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Role is a reserved word. Try

SELECT `role` …

We are also improving the syntax error message to show where the error happened.

Thanks,

Hi Gerald,

nor select ‘role’ … or select a.role from actor a work

we are looking forward for an early update :wink:

Bruno,

You need to replace every occurrence of role with `role`.

Another developer preview coming next week!

Hi Bruno,

`role` must be in back ticks, not single quotes.
