[SOLVED] MySQL – This version of MySQL doesn't yet support 'LIMIT & IN/ALL/ANY/SOME subquery

Issue

this is the code what im using

    $Last_Video         = $db->fetch_all('
    SELECT VID, thumb
    FROM video
    WHERE VID IN (
        SELECT VID
        FROM video
        WHERE title LIKE "%'.$Channel['name'].'%"
        ORDER BY viewtime DESC
        LIMIT 5)
    ORDER BY RAND()
    LIMIT 1
');

This is the error what give me

 Message:   Error during SQL execution: SELECT VID, thumb FROM video WHERE VID IN ( SELECT VID FROM video WHERE title LIKE "%funny%" ORDER BY viewtime DESC LIMIT 5) ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1<br />
 MySQL Error:   This version of MySQL doesn't yet support 'LIMIT & IN/ALL/ANY/SOME subquery'<br />
MySQL Errno:    1235

how i can fix this problem ? its other way to make it … so i dont get the error …

Solution

Instead of using IN, you can use JOIN

SELECT v.VID, v.thumb
FROM video AS v
INNER JOIN
     (SELECT VID
     FROM video
     WHERE title LIKE "%'.$Channel['name'].'%"
     ORDER BY viewtime DESC
     LIMIT 5) as v2
  ON v.VID = v2.VID
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1
