This stuff makes me lose my mind...I want to update one table based on
another table, but I only want the first row (if multiple rows are
returned). Here's my SQL statement:

update exametp a set a.EMETRO = (select b.metro_code from geolocp b
where a.ezip = b.postal_code)
where exists (select b.metro_code
from geolocp b where a.ezip = b.postal_code)

How do I get the first row returned only? I've tried FETCH FIRST ROW ONLY,
but I'm getting a syntax error.

Thanks!
