[SQL] update syntax

2005-06-15 Thread Praveen Raja
Hi,   While using Ms SQL server I used to write update statements like this,   UPDATE a SET a.col1 = b.col1 FROM table1 a INNER JOIN table1 b ON a.col2 = b.col2 WHERE a.col3 = ‘something’ AND b.col3 = ‘somethingelse’   But I can’t seem to do this in postgres, it gives me an error

Thanks. The UPDATE works ok now. But using the same logic it doesn’t seem possible to delete rows. Is this also possible?   /P   -Original Message- From: Bruno Prévost [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 June 2005 14:22 To: Praveen Raja Cc: pgsql-sql@postgresql.org Subject: Re
