I want to create view in MySQL using a subquery

    );

but it gave me

Error #1349 - View's SELECT contains a subquery in the FROM clause

How can I work around this limitation?

Answer 1

As per documentation:

MySQL Docs

• The SELECT statement cannot contain a subquery in the FROM clause.

Your workaround would be to create a view for each of your subqueries.

Then access those views of subqueries within your final view.
