SELECT 1+1 as foo, 2 as bar, foo+bar This will not work, but I think you can see what I am trying to do. I need to run a pretty hefty update on a database, and there are some pretty heavy calculations I will be doing. The result of many of those, needs to be further used to make updates on other columns.
Can someone suggest a method to do this so my SQL is not so non-manageable? Something like this: SELECT price*tax_rate+something-other Then I need to use the result of the above calc right away in some other field, which would be: SELECT price*tax_rate+something-other, ((price*tax_rate+something-other)+.6) Where what I really want to do is: SELECT price*tax_rate+something-other as foo, (foo+.6) -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
