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
