Answer 1

It means exactly what it says - each derived table must have an alias. SELECT a.* FROM (SELECT ....)a

Update. This should work for you:

SELECT xxx.* FROM 
(
    SELECT ....
    FROM ....
    UNION
    (
       SELECT ....
       FROM .....
       LIMIT 46
    )
    LIMIT 50
)xxx

Answer 2

The very first line of your query is

SELECT * FROM 

which appears to be unnecessary (as all three UNIONed queries already include SELECT and FROM clauses).

Removing this unnecessary line should resolve the problem; alternatively, adding a ( just after the first line, and adding a ) QRYALIAS at the end would also resolve the problem.
