The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
First subselect performs a join and picks the rows whose columns are going
to be used in the update.
Second subselect uses the existence clause to ensure that only matching rows
are updated, with non-matching rows left untouched.
Two subselects MUST have identical WHERE clauses for the UPDATE to work as
desired.
As a side note, this UPDATE could look "prettier" in MS-SQL syntax as it
allows familiar JOIN syntax to be used in UPDATE clauses. However, that
does not comply with SQL standards and System i does not permit for it (nor
do any other DB2 flavors). Instead, joins are done within the subselect as
I've demonstrated.
