That is not the only problem: there is no guarantee the subquery will only return one record. So even if MySQL wouldn't have this limitation you would still run the risk of an executor error when the subquery returns more then one record. Try this: UPDATE table1 a, table2 b SET a.field1 = b.field1 WHERE b.field2 = 'Some Value' AND a.field2 = 'Another Value' Jochem PS Please use single quotes to delimit strings, sticking to the SQL standard makes it easier to read. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
