RE: SQL Question

Stan,

That did it. I forgot to enclose the fields to be update in parenthesis.


Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Here's an example from Run SQL Scripts in Ops Nav that should do what you
want.  If you're not updating all rows in table1 you can add a WHERE clause
to the UPDATE statement.  Run SQL Scripts is an excellent source of SQL
examples.

UPDATE table1 SET (column1, column2) = (SELECT column1, column2 FROM table2
WHERE table1.column3 = column3);

Regards,
Stan

Hello All,

Can I update a number of fields in one table with the value of another
table based on like keys? Examples would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Mark
