In SQL Server, it is possible to insert rows into a table with an INSERT.. SELECT statement:
INSERT INTO Table (col1, col2, col3) SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM other_table WHERE sql = 'cool' Is it also possible to update a table with SELECT? I have a temporary table containing the values and would like to update another table using those values. Perhaps something like this:
UPDATE Table SET col1, col2 SELECT col1, col2 FROM other_table WHERE sql = 'cool' WHERE Table.id = other_table.id

The UPDATE from SELECT query structure is the main technique for performing these updates. An UPDATE query is used to change an existing row or rows in the database. UPDATE queries can change all tables' rows, or we can limit the update statement affects for certain rows with the help of the WHERE clause.
The SELECT FOR UPDATE statement is used to order transactions by controlling concurrent access to one or more rows of a table. It works by locking the rows returned by a selection query, such that other transactions trying to access those rows are forced to wait for the transaction that locked the rows to finish.
First, specify the table name that you want to change data in the UPDATE clause. Second, assign a new value for the column that you want to update. In case you want to update data in multiple columns, each column = value pair is separated by a comma (,). Third, specify which rows you want to update in the WHERE clause.
in SQL 2008 a new TSQL statement "MERGE" is introduced which performs insert, update, or delete operations on a target table based on the results of a join with a source table. You can synchronize two tables by inserting, updating, or deleting rows in one table based on differences found in the other table.
UPDATE Table_A SET Table_A.col1 = Table_B.col1, Table_A.col2 = Table_B.col2 FROM Some_Table AS Table_A INNER JOIN Other_Table AS Table_B ON Table_A.id = Table_B.id WHERE Table_A.col3 = 'cool' If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
