I am trying to do an UPDATE that is slightly less trivial than UPDATE persondata SET age=age+1;
What I want is something like UPDATE persondata SET age = select age from othertable where persondata.id = othertable.id; But the manual gives no clue as to whether this is possible. And if there is a decent SQL reference somewhere on the web it is not easy to find -- at least, not with the slow connection I have here in Beijing. Could someone please help?
