Re: SQL update question

Assuming the issue you are having is that you cannot update a join'd file,
you could always simulate the join with a subselect:
Update myfile a set fieldToUpdate = 'new data' where a.ID in (select b.ID
from myOtherFile b)

But now I have to join 2 files :

Select fieldToUpdate from myfile a join myOtherfile b on a.ID = b.ID where
etc..

How do I do the update now?
