You can look at the global $query variable or use devel to see if the query is being written correctly.

There may certainly be something going on with db_rewrite_sql(), so you'll probably have to find out what the actual query is when it gets sent to mysql. Stepping into db_query() is a great way to do this.

Can you post your Drupal query? Hard to troubleshoot w/o the original code.

I have the following query, which works fine in PhpMyAdmin, but Drupal upchucks on it. Why?
 
SELECT nc.nid, n.title, n.created, nc.daycount AS views_today, nc.totalcount AS total_views,
  (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments c WHERE c.timestamp >= 1270699200 AND c.nid=nc.nid) AS comments_today,
  cs.comment_count
  FROM node_counter nc
  INNER JOIN node n ON n.nid=nc.nid
  LEFT JOIN node_comment_statistics cs ON cs.nid=nc.nid
  WHERE nc.daycount > 0
  ORDER BY nc.daycount DESC
 
Yes, in Drupal, I do put the brackets around the table names.
 
The error message says there's a problem at " AS comments_today, cs.comment_count FROM...".
