You need to add in your own custom count query into the pager_query (it's the 4th arguement). The standard regex that pager_query uses to come up with it's own count query is what's breaking.

Hey Nancy,

I think Randy is right, I just ran a quick test with and without db_rewrite_sql--it works without db_rewrite_sql. This makes sense as db_rewrite_sql is among other things a regex looking for SQL keywords ('from', 'where', etc) and looks pretty much incompatible w/ subqueries.

Sorry I don't have any ideas for a fix.

Cheers,
Tim

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.

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...".
