Hi all... I'm testing MonetDB and evaluating all functionality. One item I've not been able to find much info on is updating table A from table B. ie... UPDATE PERSON SET SALARY = sal.newval FROM PERSON P, SAL_DATA sal WHERE p.id = sal.p_id Or something to that effect :) Is it possible?

Yes The following should work UPDATE person SET salary = (SELECT sal.newval FROM SAL_DATA sal WHERE person.id = sal.p_id) WHERE id in (SELECT sal.p_id FROM SAL_DATA sal) ; Niels

Thanks Cronje
