The following query works fine in access and does exactly what I want
it to do however I get a syntax error when I port it over to SQL Server
2000.
-------------
UPDATE OrdersProducts INNER JOIN Products ON OrdersProducts. ProductID =

Products.Stock-OrdersProducts. Quantity
WHERE OrdersProducts. OrderID=63116

Hi,
I feel like my previous post failed... So here is what I was saying...
Just ignore it if my post reappears.;)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can't use the UPDATE statement this way...
Here is the complete definition of its syntax :
UPDATE
{
table_name WITH ( < table_hint_limi ted [ ...n ] )
| view_name
| rowset_function _limited
}
SET
{ column_name = { expression | DEFAULT | NULL }
| @variable = expression
| @variable = column = expression } [ ,...n ]
{ { [ FROM { < table_source } [ ,...n ] ]
[ WHERE
< search_conditio n ] }
|
[ WHERE CURRENT OF
{ { [ GLOBAL ] cursor_name } | cursor_variable _name }
] }
[ OPTION ( < query_hint [ ,...n ] ) ]
Thus, in your case, the correct syntax would be :
UPDATE Products
SET Products.Stock = Products.Stock - OrdersProducts. Quantity
FROM
Products
INNER JOIN OrdersProducts ON OrdersProducts. ProductID =
Products.Produc tID
WHERE
OrdersProducts. OrderID = 63116

The ANSI SQL compliant rewrite of this query would be:
UPDATE Products
SET Stock = (
SELECT Products.Stock - OrdersProducts. Quantity
FROM OrdersProducts
WHERE OrdersProducts. ProductID = Products.Produc tID
AND OrdersProducts. OrderID=63116
)
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM OrdersProducts
WHERE OrdersProducts. ProductID = Products.Produc tID
AND OrdersProducts. OrderID=63116
)
Since this is standard SQL, it will run on any SQL Server installation,
and should run on any modern RDBMS. It might even run in MS Access.

The following query appears to work correctly in SQL server, the only
problem (and it is a major problem) is that it sets the value of the
stock field to null on every record except the one that it is reducing.
Any ideas?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE Products
SET Products.Stock = Products.Stock -
(
select sum(OrdersProdu cts.Quantity)
from OrdersProducts
where ordersproducts. ProductID=produ cts.ProductID and
ordersproducts. orderid = 63116 group by ordersproducts. ProductID
)
FROM Products

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.

SET Products.Stock = Products.Stock -
(
select sum(OrdersProdu cts.Quantity)
from OrdersProducts
where ordersproducts. ProductID=produ cts.ProductID and
ordersproducts. orderid = 63116 group by ordersproducts. ProductID
)
FROM Products
Change
sum(OrdersProdu cts.Quantity)
to
coalesce(sum(Or dersProducts.Qu antity),0)
Alternatively, append the WHERE EXISTS portion of Gert-Jan's query.
>Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression. <<
This tells you something very important about your data, namely that
your OrdersProducts or Products table or both have several occurences
of the same product_id in this order. Run the query by itself and find
the problem.
SELECT P.product_id
FROM OrdersProducts AS OP, Products AS P
WHERE OP.product_id = P.product_id
AND OP.order_id = 63116
GROUP BY P.product_id
HAVING COUNT(*) 1;
Since you did nopt post DDL, nobody can help any further. Oh, in case
some suggests using an UPDATE.. FROM.. syntax do not do it. That will
grab a random row from the subquery and use it -- totally scrambling
your database.
As a bit of education, you need to look up a good book on SQL to see
how the language really works. ACCESS is so far from SQL that it takes
a year to un-learn it; until then you are in danger writing SQL that
runs -- BUT not the way you meant it to.
I cleaned up your vague data element names and modified your original
ACCESS statement:
UPDATE (OrdersProducts AS OP
INNER JOIN
Products AS P
ON OP.product_id = P.product_id) AS Foobar
SET P.Stock = (P.stock_qty - OP.order_qty)
WHERE OP.order_id = 63116;
What a subquery expression in Standard SQL says is that we materialize
a working table, named Foobar in this example. If this syntax were
valid and consistent, then the UPDATE would apply to Foobar, not any of
the base tables!! Then the materialized table would disappear.
Nothing would have happened.
An UPDATE statement works on one and only one base table (or an
updatable VIEW that resolves to a single base table). If you could do
more than one table, then you would update the same rows multiple times
from the various JOINs. in**@bodykind.c om (in**@bodykind. com) writes:

That's rude.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
UPDATE Products
SET Products.Stock = Products.Stock -
(
select sum(OrdersProdu cts.Quantity)
from OrdersProducts
where ordersproducts. ProductID=produ cts.ProductID and
ordersproducts. orderid = 63116 group by ordersproducts. ProductID
)
FROM Products
Since there is no WHERE clause to restrict the update, all rows are
updated.
It may work better if you attach Gert-Jan's WHERE clause:
> WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM OrdersProducts WHERE OrdersProducts. ProductID = Products.Produc tID AND OrdersProducts. OrderID=63116 )
It's interesting that Gert-Jan's query failed with "Subquery returned more
than 1 value." That would indicate that your Access query is not correct
either. Then again, I don't know Access or Jet, so maybe it does what
you want to after all.
Here is is yet one more suggestion:
UPDATE Products
SET Stock = P.Stock - OP.Quantity
FROM Products P
JOIN (SELECT ProductID, Quantity = SUM(Quantity)
FROM OrderProducts
WHERE OrderID = 63116
GROUP BY ProductID) AS OP ON P.ProductID = OP.ProductID
This syntax is my personal preference, in terms of simplicity and under-
standability. It is also likely to be the best performancewise . But it
has the disctinct advantage that it only works on SQL Server, so if you
want a solution that works both on Access and SQL Server, this is not
for you.
