I have a table called Table A (col1, col2,col3,username).
There are 2 username is the table. (andy,test).
I want to know, how can I write a update statement that will update test username with the same records that of andy. I basically want to clone test user.
I know I can do this by writing a cursor but is there a better way to do this?
PS. There are multiple records in table A for andy username.
thanks
Munish

I would do this:
delete from TableA
where username = 'test';
commit;
insert into TableA
(select col1, col2, col3, 'test' from TableA);
commit;
Otherwise, you need to let us know what the Key field(s) is before using an Update...but since you are simply "cloning" the andy username, I would go this route.
