hi. i'm new to the list and have only been playing with mySQL for a few weeks now, i have a question regrading the syntax of an UPDATE statement - i hope nobody minds me asking.
i want to uopdate a table with the data from another, i've written the following: update trackinfo SET trackinfo.postcode = newtrackinfo.postcode FROM trackinfo, newtrackinfo WHERE trackinfo.telephone = newtrackinfo.telephone; it should update trackinfo with the postcodes from newtrackinfo, as long as the telephone numbers match - but i get an errror - it complains about the 'FROM...' onwards. am i missign something simple? cheers, .ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
