Case: "Row () Expression" Can Not Be Shipped

Possible Cause

The statement includes a row expression, typically shown as "(...)"in the targetlist( between SELECT and FROM).

Solution: Rewrite the SQL statement to eliminate the row expression.

Case 1: Using Row Expression (k4.businessID, arriveDate) in the targetlist

SELECT
    date_format(arriveDate, '%Y-%m-%d') AS "date",
    sales,
    COUNT(DISTINCT (k4.businessID, arriveDate)/*row expression*/)
FROM (
    SELECT k1.businessID, k2.arriveDate, k1.sales
    FROM potential_customers k1
    LEFT JOIN flow_reception k2
        ON k1.businessID = k2.businessID
    WHERE k2.arriveDate BETWEEN '2024-08-31' AND '2024-09-02'
) k4
GROUP BY arriveDate, sales;

Solution: Do not output the row expression directly. Instead, rewrite the row expression as a character string.
