SELECT FROM t1 WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM t2 UNION SELECT id FROM t3) - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hello,

I've got a problem with UNION and SELECT IN

I have a first table:

CREATE TABLE products
( idProduct   INT4, name        VARCHAR(32)
);

and two others tables:

CREATE TABLE orders
( id          INT4, ts          TIMESTAMP
);

CREATE TABLE preorders
( id          INT4, ts          TIMESTAMP
);

(I reduced the tables to be as simple as possible)

I want to retrieve id of products from the tables orders and preorders;
and order it by the name of the product. So I tried:

SELECT idProduct FROM products WHERE idProduct IN   (SELECT id FROM orders WHERE ts>'2000-10-01 17:04:00'   UNION
SELECTid FROM preorders WHERE ts>'2000-10-01 17:04:00') ORDER by name;
 

and I've got a parse error near UNION or SELECT depending of the
presence
of () between the SELECTs.

I definitively need some help to solve this problem :-|

I asked to a friend to test it with Oracle and that seems to work so I
really don't know what to do...

Christophe.
