Hi, Can the UPDATE statement have conditional check embedded in it? I have a page that displays a record (in a FORM format) that the user can change the information on each column. I want to check each column and see which has been changed and update the table for entries that were changed only. for each column data { if column is changed then update; else do nothing; } Maybe I am making this too complicated than it needs and just go ahead and update all of the columns regardless with the new values, regardless they are actually different or not.
