SQlite Error: no such table: while using join - sqlite

I have two tables joined together with third many-to-many relation. I'm trying to do select, but SQLite (version 3.11.0) keep telling me that my one of them doesn't exist which is not true! I have no idea what am I doing wrong.
Here are my tables:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS traits;
CREATE TABLE traits(
trait_id INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(trait_id) = 'integer'),
name VARCHAR UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(name) = 'text'),
uri VARCHAR UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(uri) = 'text'),
PRIMARY KEY (trait_id)
);
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS trait_categories;
CREATE TABLE trait_categories(
trait_category_id INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(trait_category_id) = 'integer'),
efo_id VARCHAR UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(efo_id) = 'text'),
name VARCHAR UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(name) = 'text'),
uri VARCHAR UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(uri) = 'text'),
PRIMARY KEY (trait_category_id)
);
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS trait_categories_traits;
CREATE TABLE trait_categories_traits(
trait_category_id INTEGER NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(trait_category_id) = 'integer'),
trait_id INTEGER NOT NULL CHECK(TYPEOF(trait_id) = 'integer'),
FOREIGN KEY (trait_category_id) REFERENCES trait_categories(trait_category_id),
FOREIGN KEY (trait_id) REFERENCES traits(trait_id)
);
Here is my SELECT which fails:
SELECT trait_categories.name, traits.name
FROM trait_categories JOIN trait_categories_traits ON trait_categories_traits.trait_category_id = trait_categories.trait_category_id
JOIN traits.trait_id ON trait_categories_traits.trait_id = traits.trait_id;
SQLite say:
sqlite> select trait_id from traits limit 1;
663
sqlite> SELECT trait_categories.name, traits.name
...> FROM trait_categories JOIN trait_categories_traits ON trait_categories_traits.trait_category_id = trait_categories.trait_category_id
...> JOIN traits.trait_id ON trait_categories_traits.trait_id = traits.trait_id;
Error: no such table: traits.trait_id
Please help.

JOIN joins two tables, so it wants two table names.
But traits.trait_id is not a table name.
It appears you wanted to join the traits table, so remove the .trait_id. (And when both columns have the same name, using USING is simpler.)
SELECT ...
FROM trait_categories
JOIN trait_categories_traits USING (trait_category_id)
JOIN traits USING (trait_id);

Deleting rows not existing in another table with composite primary key's

I'm using SQLite and are trying to move old rows from a table Students to Students_Old, and copy new rows from Students_Import.
The problem is I have multiple primary keys as this:
CREATE TABLE "Students" (
`LastName` TEXT NOT NULL,
`FirstName` TEXT NOT NULL,
`BornDate` TEXT NOT NULL,
`Class` TEXT NOT NULL,
`Photo` TEXT,
`ValidUntil` CHAR(10),
PRIMARY KEY(LastName,FirstName,BornDate))
All tables have this structure (except Students_Import that's missing Photo and ValidUntil).
So far I have managed to copy the old rows with this:
INSERT INTO Students_Old
SELECT DISTINCT a.LastName, a.FirstName, a.BornDate, a.Class, a.Photo, a.ValidUntil FROM
Students a LEFT JOIN Students_Import b ON a.LastName =b.LastName AND a.FirstName=b.FirstName AND a.BornDate=b.BornDate WHERE b.LastName is NULL;
And add the new rows with this:
INSERT INTO Students
SELECT DISTINCT a.LastName, a.FirstName, a.BornDate, a.Class, "", "" FROM
Students_Import a LEFT JOIN Students b ON a.LastName =b.LastName AND a.FirstName=b.FirstName AND a.BornDate=b.BornDate WHERE b.LastName is NULL
But I can't figure out how to delete old rows in Students (that don't exist in Students_Import).
I have tried a few variants of this:
DELETE FROM Students WHERE (LastName, FirstName, BornDate) IN
(SELECT DISTINCT a.LastName, a.FirstName, a.BornDate, a.Class, a.Photo, a.ValidUntil FROM
Students a LEFT JOIN Students_Import b ON a.LastName =b.LastName AND a.FirstName=b.FirstName AND a.BornDate=b.BornDate WHERE b.LastName is NULL);
But I only get syntax error or that I can't use it on multiple rows.
I would appreciate any help!
IN does not work with multiple columns.
To find rows that do not exist in another table, use NOT EXISTS with a correlated subquery:
DELETE FROM Students
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM Students_Import
WHERE Students_Import.LastName = Students.LastName
AND Students_Import.FirstName = Students.FirstName
AND Students_Import.BornDate = Students.BornDate);
I don't think you can have multiple columns in the IN clause.
How about:
DELETE Students FROM Students s LEFT JOIN Students_Import si ON (s.LastName = si.LastName AND s.FirstName = si.FirstName AND s.BornDate = si.BornDate) WHERE s.LastName IS NULL;

Get names for IDs in two columns in one from another table

I have two tables:
CREATE TABLE tElements (
elementID INTEGER,
name TEXT,
area TEXT,
zone TEXT,
voltageLevel TEXT,
mRID TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE tCAResults (
timestamp INTEGER NOT NULL,
outageElementID INTEGER NOT NULL,
monitoredElementID INTEGER NOT NULL,
preOutageLoading DOUBLE NOT NULL,
postOutageLoading DOUBLE NOT NULL
);
How can I create query where id's of outageElementID and monitoredElementID from table tCAResult would be displayed as names from table tElements?
I have been searching for a whole day but couldn't find the answer. The closest I found is this but can't work it out
A simple join or two will do the job:
select tc.timestamp, oe.name as outageElement, me.name as monitoredElement
from tCAResults tc
join tElements oe on (oe.elementID = tc.outageELementID)
join tElements me on (me.elementID = tc.monitoredElementID);

sqlite3: how to select same row twice when there is a match?

Create SOF.SQL
CREATE TABLE "android_metadata" ("locale" TEXT DEFAULT 'en_US');
INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES ('en_US');
CREATE TABLE main.t_def (
_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
word TEXT(20) not null,
word_def TEXT(20) not null
);
insert into t_def (word, word_def) values ('ball','spherical object');
insert into t_def (word, word_def) values ('cat','feline');
insert into t_def (word, word_def) values ('dog','common housekept');
CREATE TABLE main.t_a (
_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
corr_answer TEXT(20) not null,
user_answer TEXT(20) not null,
is_correct INTEGER not null
);
insert into t_a (user_answer, corr_answer, is_correct) values ('ball','cat',0);
insert into t_a (user_answer, corr_answer, is_correct) values ('dog','dog',1);
.exit
Then run:
sqlite3 foo.db < SOF.SQL
I want a result set that is:
ball|spherical object|cat|feline|0
This is the closest I have gotten:
select t_def.word, t_def.word_def from t_def, t_a where t_a.is_correct=0 and t_a.corr_answer=t_def.word;
To get values from two rows, you need two instances of the table:
SELECT t_a.user_answer,
user_def.word_def AS user_word_def,
t_a.corr_answer,
corr_def.word_def AS corr_word_def,
t_a.is_correct
FROM t_a
JOIN t_def AS user_def ON t_a.user_answer = user_def.word
JOIN t_def AS corr_def ON t_a.corr_answer = corr_def.word
WHERE NOT t_a.is_correct

I have following tables in my DB
CREATE TABLE [author_details] (
[_id] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
[name] TEXT NOT NULL,
[surname] TEXT NOT NULL,
[middle_name] TEXT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE [authors] (
[_id] INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
[book_id] INTEGER NOT NULL,
[author_id] INTEGER NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE [books] (
[_id] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
[title] TEXT NOT NULL,
[publisher_id] INTEGER NOT NULL,
[isbn] VARCHAR(10) UNIQUE NULL,
[ean] VARCHAR(13) UNIQUE NULL,
[pages] INTEGER DEFAULT '0' NULL,
[year] INTEGER NOT NULL,
[edition] TEXT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE [publishers] (
[_id] INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
[name] TEXT NOT NULL
);
I want a list of all books with details, I've used following query:
SELECT b.title,b.isbn,b.ean,b.year,b.pages,b.edition,
CASE
WHEN ad.middle_name IS NULL
THEN ad.name||" "||ad.surname
ELSE ad.name||" "||ad.middle_name||" "||ad.surname
END AS author, p.name
FROM books AS b, authors AS a, author_details AS ad, publishers AS p
INNER JOIN authors, author_details, publishers ON b._id=a.book_id AND ad._id=a.author_id AND b.publisher_id=p._id
GROUP BY b._id
It returns All books but only one author for books with multiple authors. How to write the query to get all authors per book?
To get the values from all records in a group, you have to use the group_concat function:
SELECT b.title,b.isbn,b.ean,b.year,b.pages,b.edition,
group_concat(CASE
...
END) AS author, p.name
FROM ...
Additionally, you need to use the correct join syntax.
In your query, you are joining every table twice, which results in lots up duplicate records.
There are two equivalent syntaxes for joins.
Either use a plain list of tables, and WHERE:
...
FROM books AS b,
authors AS a,
author_details AS ad,
publishers AS p
WHERE b._id = a.book_id
AND a.author_id = ad._id
AND b.publisher_id = p._id
...
or use the JOIN operator for each join, with a join condition for each join:
...
FROM books AS b
JOIN authors AS a ON b._id = a.book_id
JOIN author_details AS ad ON a.author_id = ad._id
JOIN publishers AS p ON b.publisher_id = p._id
...
Try to use group_concat():
SELECT b.title,b.isbn,b.ean,b.year,b.pages,b.edition,
GROUP_CONCAT(CASE
WHEN ad.middle_name IS NULL
THEN ad.name||" "||ad.surname
ELSE ad.name||" "||ad.middle_name||" "||ad.surname
END) AS author,
p.name
FROM

How to add another column to SELECT DISTINCT query for other columns?

I have this table
CREATE TABLE APmeasure
(id_APmeasure INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT
, RSSI TEXT, TimeOfMeasure DATETIME
, BSSID TEXT, id_APm INTEGER NOT NULL
, FOREIGN KEY (id_APm) REFERENCES APTable (id_Ap) ON DELETE CASCADE)
I want to make a query which would give me distinct results of TimeOfMeasure and BSSID, like this:
SELECT DISTINCT TimeOfMeasure, BSSID
FROM APmeasure
WHERE "condition"
But that would retrieve me the other columns on the table, related to the DISTINCT query.
How do I do it?
Perform distinct/grouping operation,
Join to result of distinct/grouping operation...
Something like:
SELECT [whichever columns you want]
FROM APmeasure
JOIN (
SELECT TimeOfMeasure, BSSID
FROM APmeasure
WHERE [condition]
GROUP BY TimeOfMeasure, BSSID
) x
ON x.TimeOfMeasure = APmeasure.TimeOfMeasure
AND x.BSSID = APmeasure.BSSID
[any other joins you need]
