Re: SQL Update using Variable Field

Hence the "I don't have this worked out yet...".  It might not be 
feasible.

Re: SQL Update using Variable Field






Does this really work? I tried something like it in interactive SQL, and I
got a message saying that the keyword "WHEN" was not expected.

As other posts have already pointed out, if you're using embedded SQL then
you can build any statement you want using PREPARE . . .
