Hi.

I want to update a table based on data in another table. Something like:

update table1 a set f1 =
(select f2

from table2
where table2.f3 = table1.f3
and table2.f4 = table1.f4);

this seems to work, but generates a lot of redo logs. So I tried to add NOLOGGING. Alas, seems like NOLOGGING
and alias don't tolerate each other. I haven't been able to run an Update with both alias and NOLOGGING. Is that something that Oracle restricts or did I not try hard enough?

Any suggestions?

TIA Gene
