Simple Update Error

Hey all,

i have a students_table which i want to do a multiple update on.

Update student_table
set grant = 35000
where course_id = 2
There are lots of students in the student table which have course_id of
2.

I get this error:

Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the
subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an
expression.
The statement has been terminated.

Does anyone know how to do a multiple update like this.It seems such a
simple thing but im confused

Either you didn't post the right UPDATE statement or the table you are
updating has a trigger on it.

The error message is telling you that an UPDATE with a subquery returned
more than one value for some row in the table but the UPDATE statement you
posted doesn't have a subquery. Check if there is an update trigger on the
table. If there is then please post the trigger code and the DDL for the
table(s) involved.

In my effort to learn PHP I'm playing with some simple email scripts. They worked a few days ago but they stopped working. The only thing I've done to this Windows 2000 PC in this time was a Windows Update which I do regularly. The only part of this update that might be related was an IE 6 update. So I uninstalled and reinstaled PHP 4.3.3. The mail server setting is correct in the php.ini file. But email is still not being sent. ...

Hi, I have searched for the answer for this error message without success. I have seen the question many times though:) I create an ASP.NET project (VS 2005, C#), and use a very simple .mdf file (which I can provide if necessary). I use 'Add new Item' and pick 'DataSet'. I believe this creates a TypedDataSet, CORRECT? I take all the defaults as far as Insert, and I pick the advanced tab and ask for Update Statements and Delete...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
