Re: SQL v5r4: any simple example of how to update one field1 in fileA from a different field2 in fileB

Can you add? Fetch first row only to your subselect!

When fileB has more than one key?





The following works when fileB has only one key. How can I do the same when fileB has two+ keys?





update fileA a

set a.field1 =

(select b.field2 from fileB b

where a.keyfield1 = b.keyfield1

where a.keyfield1 = (select keyfield1 from fileB b where a.keyfield1 = b.keyfield1)







Is there a simpler method - maybe using JOIN ON?



(I cant use MERGE as it must function on v5r4 for a few more months)





Thanks!
