Re: SQL Inspiration needed

Still, this is very nice, and significantly more elegant than any of
the other pure-SQL attempts in this thread.

True.  Too bad it won't work, unless it happens that order date is today.
OTOH, I believe there are also limits against using WITH and UPDATE
together, so it's a double whammy.  Original request: UPDATE the Orders.

Thanks Joe.

Unfortunately, no.

The FETCH FIRST xx ROWS clause requires a literal value, it doesn't
work with variables.

Still, this is very nice, and significantly more elegant than any of
the other pure-SQL attempts in this thread.
