Re: Update ALL colums without knowing their name??

If all you are trying to do is replace the rows in table1 with the contents of table2 do the following

truncate table table1;
insert into table1 select * from table2; commit;

If you want to append the data, leave out the truncate.

Hi,

I need an universal update procedure in which I don' t know the colums name.

How can I make an update like this:

Update Table1 set Every_columns = ( Select * from Table2)

I tried set Table1.* wiht no result.
How can I work around this?

Thank you in advance

Zsolt Csillag,
