I imagine version 4.5 doesn't recognize ANSI SQL.

Don't use version 4.5 - it's been desupported for years.

Otherwise you're going to have to rewrite your sql to non-ansi syntax.

So use 4.5 version - just rewrite the query!

In other words (and as an example), instead of

SELECT e.ename, d.dname
FROM EMP e left join DEPT d
ON e.deptno = d.deptno

you'd have

SELECT e.ename, d.dname
FROM EMP e, DEPT d
WHERE e.deptno = d.deptno

Another trick you can try is create a view based on your query then query that in the report.
reports 4.5 might not know ANSI sql but it should know views (I'm guessing - never used that version).
