Hi All,


I want an update statement to update the records below

I have a table test:

new_id			id 		PARENT_ID
1			100		
2			102		100
3			103		100
4			104		102
5                       105             102


i need an update statement so that new_id will get updated to parent_id as shown below.

AFTER UPDATE I WANT THE OUTPUT AS BELOW:

new_id			id 		PARENT_ID
1			100		
2			102		1
3			103		1
4			104		2
5                       105             2


Thanks,
Srinivas

What did you try?
Why it does not work?
Where are you stuck?

Also post your Oracle version with at least 3 decimals.

NOW...............


UPDATE TEST_ID SET PARENT_ID = (SELECT NEW_ID FROM TEST_ID S WHERE S.ID = TEST_ID.PARENT_ID);


some times it fails to update query ,and it has been very difficult to find where it failed in lakh records.

It will be even more difficult to us to find where it fails if you don't post us where it fails.
Why do you think it fails?
