Help needed in understanding the below update statement


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. update results_key set 
  2.  
  3. result = temp.tally
  4.  
  5. from(
  6.  
  7.         select testid,result,count(*) as tally
  8.  
  9.         from reslults_emp
  10.  
  11.         where testid='e001'
  12.  
  13.      ) temp
  14.  
  15. where resluts_key.testid=temp.testid
  16.  
  17. and results_key.value=temp.result
  18.  
  19.  



According to me result expect one and only one value from temp.tally

but it is returning 2 values and the update is working perfectly

updating 2 records.



why I am confused is because I have back ground of Oracle sql plsql and in Oracle

update this is not possible it will give error stating too many rows.



can any body explain me this update statement



Thanks

aak.

While writing this plea for help, I think I solved my dilemma, but I don't know why the problem solving statement is necessary. The inspiration for the statement came from an undocumented VB example I found on the web. I would be most appreciative if someone could explain why this statement is necessary and what does it do: MyArt = New Art

Hello All, A few weeks ago, I wrote two scripts using mx.ODBC on an Access DB. Among other things, both scripts create new tables, perform a query and then populate the tables with data in a dictionary that I've uploaded from elsewhere. These scripts have run hundreds of times in the last few weeks with no problems. But recently they continue to bail on the mycursor.execute('An SQL Statement') after the table has been created. I get the...

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