Re: FW: Another SQL question

Michael, did you try this syntax first? I don't think it could ever work.

1. acnm_name1 in the SET clause does not come from anywhere
2. There is a mix of *SYS and *SQL naming
3. The WHERE clause has no logical comparison operator (predicate, IIRC)

Is this syntax from another RDBMS?

Later, dude

I know the following sql syntax is not correct (I'm new at attempting SQL)
but this is what I want to do. I am attempting to pull the field acnm_name1
from rugr80dat/pmspag00 table and put it into the bus_name field in the
jacfiles.agcy_ext table. These 2 files are tied by agcy_mco=mco and
agnm_agcy = agcy. Any help (without laughing) would be appreciated.





UPDATE jacfiles.agcy_ext r1

SET bus_name = acnm_name1

WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM rugr80dat.pmspag00 r2)

WHERE r1.mco = r2.agnm_mco and r1.agcy = r2.agnm_agcy
