There is no "line 18" in your code sample. This is presumably part of a larger query, which you haven't shown.

Solution 1

You don't need AS keyword after the table. Also you have use AS in the end of the query to 'name' the name it, that's not correct in SQL syntax if this is the whole statement.

Try something like

SQL

SELECT top 100 
	a.[CUST_NUM],
	a.[BILLED_AMOUNT_202008],
    a.[BILLED_AMOUNT_202007],
	b.[PROD_FAMILY_GRP],
    b.[PROD_FAMILY],
    b.[PROD_LINE]
FROM [MOBILE_PLANNING].[dbo].[C_prod_grp_202108] b
LEFT JOIN [MOBILE_PLANNING].[dbo].[C_mob_br_specialist_details_202012] a 
          ON a.[GL_ACCOUNT_CODE] = b.[SEF_CD]

"You don't need AS keyword after the table."

But it's not forbidden. FROM table AS alias will work the same as FROM table alias. :)

Exactly, it's nor forbidden in newer version. Can't remember the exact version where using AS become possible but before that it was not supported.

I don't recall a version of SQL Server where it wasn't allowed. Maybe 6.5? I never really used that version.

You've missed a lot :)
