I am having a hard figuring out what the above is supposed to be doing,
in particular this?:
$ select
p.location_id, p.employee_id, pt.description, sum(p.hours_allocated) as
hours_allocated ...
Why the leading $?
Would it be possible to cut and paste the errors in the future, I had to
enlarge the images to get these old eyes to see the issue. At any rate
from what I could see, it is a quoting issue, which I believe is related
to the question above.
