Why is the multi-part identifier could not be bound?
Since the distinction between examples 2) and 3) is the location of the Pr table, and since your error references Pr.Id, my assumption is that you are trying to use a column from Pr before you reference the table in your sequence of joins. The multi-part identifier “c.id” could not be bound.
How to create a multi-part identifier in SQL?
SELECT * FROM TableA a INNER JOIN TableB b ON b.B1=a.A1 INNER JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM TableC c WHERE c.C1=b.B1 ORDER BY c.C1) d ON d.C2=b.B2 INNER JOIN OtherTable ON OtherTable.Foo=d.C1 Building this schema and running the query in SQLFiddle under SQL Server 2008 results in: The multi-part identifier “b.B1” could not be bound.:
How to use the multi-part identifier ” b.b1 “?
The multi-part identifier “b.B1” could not be bound.: SELECT * FROM TableA a INNER JOIN TableB b ON b.B1=a.A1 INNER JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM TableC c WHERE c.C1=b.B1 ORDER BY c.C1) d ON d.C2=b.B2
