Hi,
I have two tables--call them A and B.
I want to update certain fields in A from values in table B based
on a selection criteria.
The "select" portion would be like:
SELECT * from A
WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND A.ID in ('<a list of values>');
And then based on above select, I want to update table A:
UPDATE A
SET A.someField = B.someField;
I can't seem to figure out how to combine the two in one query (or nested sub-queries). Is it possible at all? If not, what would be the best way, in your opinion, to do this?
Thanks very much for your help!!!
Regards,
Nasir (NNoor_at_cris.com)
