Update Multiple Rows

I'm trying to UPDATE multiple rows in a single statement. I've seen some examples but to me they don't seem to apply to my scenario. Below is my original SQL:

UPDATE AIM.AIMRetrieve dItem
SET ImageFront=NULL ,
ImageFrontSize= NULL,
ImageFrontType= NULL,
ImageBack=NULL,
ImageBackSize=N ULL,
ImageBackType=N ULL
WHERE AIM.AIMRetrieve dItem.ArchiveRe trievalID = (SELECT
AIM.AIMRETRIEVE DITEM.ARCHIVERE TRIEVALID
FROM
AIM.ARCHIVERETR IEVAL,
AIM.AIMRETRIEVE DITEM
WHERE
AIM.AIMRETRIEVE DITEM.ARCHIVERE TRIEVALID = AIM.ARCHIVERETR IEVAL.ARCHIVERE TRIEVALID
AND AIM.ARCHIVERETR IEVAL.EXPIRATIO NDATE < DATE(CURRENT TIMESTAMP))

When I run this query, I get the multiple recordset error.

I would welcome any suggestions or ideas on how to rectify the problem.

Thanks in advance...

Also take a look at the MERGE statement. It doesn't require the double
select

Cheers

Greetings, Fairly new to c# and Im looking for pointers on a few topics: Im curious as to general methods to update multiple rows in a database.

I think I'm seeing table-level lock contention in the following function when I have many different concurrent callers, each with mutually distinct values for $1. Is there a way to reimplement this function using select-for-update (or equivalent) in order to get a row-level lock (and thus less contention) while maintaining the function interface? The docs seem to suggest so, but it's not clear how to return the SETOF queued_item and also...

So I have some data that I want to put into a table. If the row already exists (as defined by the primary key), I would like to update the row. Otherwise, I would like to insert the row. I've been doing something like delete from foo where name = 'xx'; insert into foo values('xx',1,2,...);

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
