SSMS Express: Creating Parent-Child Table Via LEFT OUTER JOIN - Error Message 156

Hi all,

I got an error message 156, when I executed the following code:

////--SQLQueryParent&Child.sql---////////

Use newDB

GO

----Creating dbo.Person as a Parent Table----

CREATE TABLE dbo.Person

(PersonID int PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,

FirstName varchar(25) NOT NULL,

Phone varchar(25) NOT NULL)

INSERT dbo.Person (PersonID, FirstName, LastName, City, State, Phone)

SELECT 1, "George", "Washington", "Washington", "DC", "1-000-1234567"

UNION ALL

SELECT 2, "Abe", "Lincoln", "Chicago", "IL", "1-111-2223333"

UNION ALL

SELECT 3, "Thomas", "Jefferson", "Charlottesville", "VA", "1-222-4445555"

---Try to obtain the LEFT OUTER JOIN Results for the Parent-Child Table

SELECT * FROM Person AS I LEFT OUTER JOIN Book ON I.ID=P.ID

GO

////---Results---//////

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 5

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'NOT'.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

(1) Where did I do wrong and cause the Error Message 156?

(2) I try to get a Parent-Child table by using the LEFT OUTER JOIN via the following code statement:

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 5

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'NOT'.

Can I get a Parent-Child table after the error 156 is resolved?

Please help and advise.

Thanks,

Scott Chang
