>Description:
MySQL doesn't allow me to use a sub-select in an update if
the subselect happens to be from the same table.
>How-To-Repeat:
mysql> use test;
mysql> create table T(lfd int, foo int);
mysql> insert into T (lfd, foo) values ( ( select max( lfd ) + 1 from T), 123);
ERROR 1093: You can't specify target table 'T' for update in FROM clause
>Fix:
Use PostgreSQL or Oracle or ..., it works with them ?!?
