hello,
i am a non-SQL expert that occasionally has to do some queries. our environment is Oracle 9. i will gladly provide more info if needed.
i am trying to:
- get all the rows in a table that match a simple criteria, and
- copy the column values from those rows into other rows in the same table.
a bit more... we have an InpectionReports table. in it, we have a row for every Product for a given PO (purchase order) and InspectionTypeID (there are multiple types of inspections). i need a bit of SQL that will all let me find all the rows for a given PO/InspectionTypeID combo, and then copy my desired column values to all the rows for *another* given PO/InspectionTypeID combo.
as i mentioned all of these rows are stored in the same table, since they are unique on ProductID/PO/InspectionTypeID.
...did i describe this well? thanks for any help.
