thank you for you reply..
actually i have made a mistake in the perception of a problem..
actually i have to update a column which is newly created
i am fetching the records from one column like names
and after making them all capital and removing any unusual character other thaN
alphabets i want them in anothe culumn which is newly created..
so the question is will i have to use insert query or update query
i am confused about the insert and update queries
plz guide me in this regard
thanx
Either one from the two examples below should work for you:
-
INSERT into tableA (columnB) SELECT columnX FROM tableY;
-
-- a minor cosmetic touch
-
INSERT into tableA (columnB) (SELECT columnX FROM tableY);
-
