[SQLSTATE: 42000](sql-error-conditions-sqlstates.html#class-42-syntax-error-or-access-rule-violation)

Invalid SQL syntax:

This error class has the following derived error classes:

## ANALYZE_TABLE_UNEXPECTED_NOSCAN

ANALYZE TABLE(S) ... COMPUTE STATISTICS ... `<ctx>` must be either NOSCAN or empty.

## CREATE_FUNC_WITH_IF_NOT_EXISTS_AND_REPLACE

CREATE FUNCTION with both IF NOT EXISTS and REPLACE is not allowed.

## CREATE_TEMP_FUNC_WITH_DATABASE

CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION with specifying a database(`<database>`) is not allowed.

## CREATE_TEMP_FUNC_WITH_IF_NOT_EXISTS

CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION with IF NOT EXISTS is not allowed.

## EMPTY_PARTITION_VALUE

Partition key `<partKey>` must set value.

## INVALID_COLUMN_REFERENCE

Expected a column reference for transform `<transform>`: `<expr>`.

## INVALID_TABLE_FUNCTION_IDENTIFIER_ARGUMENT_MISSING_PARENTHESES

Syntax error: call to table-valued function is invalid because parentheses are missing around the provided TABLE argument `<argumentName>`; please surround this with parentheses and try again.

## INVALID_TABLE_VALUED_FUNC_NAME

Table valued function cannot specify database name: `<funcName>`.

## INVALID_WINDOW_REFERENCE

Window reference `<windowName>` is not a window specification.

## LATERAL_WITHOUT_SUBQUERY_OR_TABLE_VALUED_FUNC

LATERAL can only be used with subquery and table-valued functions.

## MULTI_PART_NAME

`<statement>` with multiple part function name(`<funcName>`) is not allowed.

## OPTION_IS_INVALID

option or property key `<key>` is invalid; only `<supported>` are supported

## REPETITIVE_WINDOW_DEFINITION

The definition of window `<windowName>` is repetitive.

## SHOW_FUNCTIONS_INVALID_PATTERN

Invalid pattern in SHOW FUNCTIONS: `<pattern>`. It must be a "STRING" literal.

## SHOW_FUNCTIONS_INVALID_SCOPE

SHOW `<scope>` FUNCTIONS not supported.

## TRANSFORM_WRONG_NUM_ARGS

The transform`<transform>` requires `<expectedNum>` parameters but the actual number is `<actualNum>`.

## UNRESOLVED_WINDOW_REFERENCE

Cannot resolve window reference `<windowName>`.

## UNSUPPORTED_FUNC_NAME

Unsupported function name `<funcName>`.

## VARIABLE_TYPE_OR_DEFAULT_REQUIRED

The definition of a SQL variable requires either a datatype or a DEFAULT clause.
For example, use `DECLARE name STRING` or `DECLARE name = 'SQL'` instead of `DECLARE name`.
