If you look at the documentation for UPDATE, you'll find no mention of multi-table updates, and so they don't exist. If you search the docs you'll find that they are to be added in 4.1. The FAQ clearly states that multi-table updates and deletes do not exist at this point in time. And imagine how much less traffic there'd be on this list if everyone read the FAQ before posting. //C - amazed that the some questions pop up almost every week. -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
