I have the following script:

select c.company_nbr, c.company_name, i.industry,
from companies as c, industry as i, enforcement as e
where exists (
select c.company_nbr, count(e.action_date), sum(e.penalty_amt)
from e.enforcement
where c.company_nbr = e.company_nbr
)
group by industry
order by industry;

When I run it psql reports an error:
psql:companies-with-enforcement-actions.txt:127: ERROR: syntax error at or near "company_nbr"
LINE 1: company_nbr | company_name
^
and I'm not seeing the error. What am I missing?

TIA,

Rich
