DB2 SET UPDATE
No cursors please! DB2 syntax varies from SQL Server.
Just because it took me an hour to find it....I wish the syntax would be the same...but they're not
UPDATE ASSESS_AUDIT A1
SET FIRST_NAME = (SELECT SUB_FIRST_NAME
FROM ORG_TREE O1
WHERE A1.EMPL_ID = O1.EMPL_ID)
WHERE FIRST_NAME = ' '
AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ORG_TREE O2
WHERE A1.EMPL_ID = O2.EMPL_ID);
Another example
UPDATE SS_FAMILY_TREE_MAP SFTM
SET ORG_NAME = ( SELECT SUBSTR(SOR.SS_ORG_NAME,1,25)
FROM SS_ORG_REL SOR
WHERE SFTM.SS_ORG_CD = SOR.SS_ORG_CD
AND SFTM.SS_STRUCTURE_NAME = SOR.STRUCTURE_NAME)
WHERE ORG_NAME IS NULL OR ORG_NAME = ' '
;

re: DB2 SET UPDATE Thanks so much for the example syntax. Lucky you came along, the DB2 documentation has such lame examples of update statements, mostly showing things like Update table set ColumnName = 'Value'. Not very helpful. You've pulled my bacon from the fire. -Larry Smith |
