An Unexpected Syntax Error in Union Query

An Unexpected Syntax Error in Union Query

PROBLEM

  • Getting the error message “An unexpected syntax error in union query.  # error(s) have been logged.”

CAUSE

  1. This could be a result of a corruption in the database, namely having to do with campaigns.
  2. This error may also come from the Current Windows User not having proper (or corrupted) permissions.
    • i.e. a client was using Remote Desktop to log into a server, then logging into Gorilla, and would receive this error while opening the Scheduler.  The problem no longer occurs when they log in using a different username to log into the Remote Desktop, and use their own Gorilla login to access the Scheduler.

SOLUTION

  1. First check the filter settings within the scheduler.
    1. Click on the Scheduler icon within Gorilla.

    2. Click on the filter icon at the top left of the Scheduler.

    3. Click on the Campaigns tab and be sure that none of the campaign items are checked.  If any of them are, uncheck them and then click “Apply.”

      • If the error goes away once you uncheck the campaign related items, then there is a corruption in the database and it will need to be sent in for repair.
        • Call Software Support at 801-553-9888 for assistance with sending in your database.
        • Once the repair has been completed, we will call you back to help you get your repaired database restored on your network.
        • Note: All database repairs have a 24 hour turnaround time.
      • If you continue to get the error after unchecking the campaign related items, then continue to step #2.
  2. Have your IT Department either recreate your username, or verify that all permissions are setup correctly.
