ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

What it means

The statement has extra text after a complete command: a clause in the wrong order, AS before a table alias (allowed for columns, not tables), ORDER BY in an INSERT ... SELECT subquery, or an UPDATE ... JOIN written in another database's syntax.

How to fix it

Remove AS before table aliases, check the clause order (WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY), and rewrite UPDATE/DELETE with a join as MERGE or a correlated subquery.
