Okay,
I guess I should explain my answer.
UPDATE FILEA SET FIELDA = 'N' WHERE FIELDA = 'X' and RRN(FILEA) <= 1500
RRN(filename) will select the relative record number so this will update
the first 1500 based on when they were added to the file.

Subject: Update the first 1500 records that need updating
Hi everyone
(Hopefully) A quick sql question.
I have a simple SQL update
UPDATE FILEA SET FIELDA = 'N' WHERE FIELDA = 'X'
However there are thousands of records that will be updated. I only need
to update the first 1500 of these records (no other selection criteria,
just the first 1500)
Is this possible?
If so, how?
Thanks in advance
