 * You’re missing the table name between the “FROM” and “WHERE” in both SQL statements
   so that MySQL doesn’t know which table to execute the query on. It looks like
   the table should be “wp_posts” though it could be a more complicated JOIN in 
   there.
 * If this is from code you added, it will be (relatively) easy to locate, but you
   didn’t say. If it’s just an error you’re getting and you have no idea where it’s
   coming from, you may need to go through the [Master Troubleshooting List](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-35-master-list)
   for your version of WordPress to identify the source. If it’s not code you wrote,
   it’s usually a custom theme or a plugin.

 * It is a plugin – called generate cache. I have just deactivated is as I probably
   won’t be able to find where to add the table prefix and fix it.

 * There are lots of caching plugins, so that’s probably the most efficient solution.
   You can just try another.
