Hallo all,
I'm quite new to SQL and I have a problem updating some fields in a table,
maybe some of you in this forum can help me!
This SELECT statement returns the records that I need to update:
select * from A, B
where A.a = 'D' and A.b = 'D '
and A.c = B.c and A.d = B.d
and B.a = '*' and B.b = '*'
The key for the two files is in fields .c and .d but I need to check also
BOTH fields B.a and B.b
because they are my selection flags... and they're not present in file A.
Now I would like to convert this SELECT in an UPDATE as I need to update
two of the fields in file A but this statement doesn't work ... ... !
UPDATE A, B
set A.a = 'X', A.b = 'X'
where A.a = 'D' and A.b = 'D '
and A.c = B.c and A.d = B.d
and B.a = '*' and B.b = '*'
It seems that UPDATE can manage only one table... Which is the solution?
If there isn't a solution with SQL I'll have to write a program to do it!
Best regards to all, Andrea

Andrea,
UPDATE A
SET A.a = 'X', A.b = 'X'
WHERE A.a = 'D' and A.b = 'D '
AND (A.c, A.d) IN (SELECT B.c, B.d
FROM B WHERE B.a = '*' and B.b = '*');
There are also solutions using EXISTS.
The newest SQL Standard (and DB2 UDB for LUW) supports a MERGE statement
which you can sue for more complex scenarios.
Cheers
Serge
Hallo Serge,
first really thanks for your help, I've been able to understand
what to do even if I had to modify it.
My AS/400 v5r1 doesn't like the AND (A.c, A.d) IN .... line !
So, just for your information, I changed it like this (after MANY try):
update ORCLR01L A
SET A.ocmagr = 'T', A.ocfilr = 'T ', A.ocnumr = A.ocnumr + 42000
WHERE A.occlir = '008137' and A.ocansr = 2004
AND A.ocmagr IN (SELECT ocmagt FROM ORCLT01L B
WHERE B.ocstat = ' ' and B.ocrept = ' ' and B.occlit = '008137')
AND A.ocfilr IN (SELECT ocfilt FROM ORCLT01L B
WHERE B.ocstat = ' ' and B.ocrept = ' ' and B.occlit = '008137')
AND A.ocnumr IN (SELECT ocnumt FROM ORCLT01L B
WHERE B.ocstat = ' ' and B.ocrept = ' ' and B.occlit = '008137')
I think it's a bit redundant but... it worked.
From the manuals I could't figure out how to write the
AND (A.c, A.d) statement as there was always an error for the
comma or anything else after the first field...
Thank you very much and Ciao, Andrea

Try EXISTS then. Seems like your version doesn't understand the "row"
wise IN yet.

Greetings,
In the customers table in Northwind db, one can update PK
(customerid) and all other fields in the same table. My question is
how can you do this in the udpate stat. That is, if one wants to
write update query to update all fields including PK, how it can be
set? Using PK in the SET statement, gives an error, because this field
might have changed during the update?
MTIA,

am using FOR UPDATE triggers to audit a table that has 67 fields. My

This is a long post. You can paste the whole message
in the SQL Query Analyzer.
I have a scenario where there are records
with values pointing to wrong records and I need to fix them
using an Update statement.
I have a sample code to reproduce my problem.
To simplify the scenario I am trying to use Order related
tables to explain a little better the tables i have to work with.

I keep getting a concurrency exception the second time I make a change and
attempt to update a dataadapter. It appears this is by design, so there must
be something I can do to avoid it.
Example:

I used the wizard to generate a typed dataset for my table and let it create
my SPROCs. It created everything, and the GetData() method and the custom
GetByUserName query works great, but when I try to call the Update() method
of my TableAdapter, I get the following:
"Procedure 'stp_SecurityUsers_Update' expects parameter '@userName', which

Hello,
I have a Gridview control (.net 2.0) that I'm having trouble getting the

something.
When the Edit button is clicked, the grid goes into Edit mode and the Cancel

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
