Can someone tell me if this is possible using the UPDATE command I have a table MASTER and a table called MASTERNOTES. Masternotes contains the blobs of data linked to MASTER that is stored separately for efficiency. Not all rows in MASTER has a note and therefore MASTERNOTES is a subset of MASTER.
I want to add a column in MASTER HaveANote. The value is 'Y' if a note exists in MASTERNOTES and 'N' if not. I was wondering if this can be done using UPDATE. The manual doesn't have any examples that I can see showing an UPDAT if ... example. In pseudo terms I am looking to do UPDATE MASTER SET HaveANote = 'Y' IF MATTERREF EXISTS IN MASTERNOTES I know how to write this in a program to update the table would like to know how to do it using SQL syntax. Thanks Kerry
