FROM data_table X)

As regards your earlier question, in MySQL and other databases too, there is a difference between single quote (') and backquote (`). I think you meant to use the latter, which is what Ditto was getting at.
I'm an Oracle guy, not very familiar with MYSQL .. Smilie I was thinking his issue was the fact that:

where column = 'today'

is not the same as:

where column = today

if today is some internal function, then you probably shouldn't use single quotes ... if MYSQL uses back quotes ` .. then yeah, sure Smilie but I was making an assumption MYSQL treats single or double quotes as strings.

which would be like trying to match:

where Nov 25, 2014 = "today" ..

as opposed to:
where Nov 25, 2014 = Nov 25, 2014
(ie where date_col = today ) ??

In Oracle it's:

where date_col = sysdate

but that's another story Smilie
