Hopefully someone can help me out with this - I have two tables in mySQL: comments and diary
I want to populate a new field in comments with the current values of diary - but only if they meet certain criteria. Now, the problem is this - my webserver is using an older version of mySQL that doesn't support UPDATEs from multiple tables (that's not possible until v4.0.4) and unfortunately, them updating the install isn't a possibility. I know if it was v4.0.4+ I could juse use: UPDATE comments,diary SET comments.diary_date=diary.date WHERE comments.refid=diary.ID I also don't think I can use sub-selects in queries either. Btw - I'm currently running v3.23.58. Thanks for any help! -M -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
