Re: Update the first 1500 records that need updating

So there is a way to do it in one statement :)

Thanks for the solution!

FETCH FIRST N ROWS is only supported in the outer level of a query and in a
derived table, not in a subquery (which is where you are trying to use it).
What you can do is push the clause one level deeper into a derived table.

UPDATE FILEA F
SET FIELDA = 'N' where RRN(F) in
( SELECT R FROM
(
SELECT RRN(F) R from FILEA F where FIELDA='X'
Fetch first 1500 rows only
) X
)
