Hi All,
Is it possible in MySQL to use UPDATE to update fields in one table =
with
data from another table? For example, the following code seems to be the
answer but fails with a syntax error in MySQL:
=20
UPDATE test_demo1.products SET nontaxable=3D(SELECT IMFSalesTax FROM
IDX.InvMasFile);
=20
Here the data from the field IMFSalesTax in table InvMasFile, database =
IDX,
is being used to update the field nontaxable in table products, database
test_demo1.
=20
Any suggestions/workarounds will be greatly appriciated.
