I know I can do
insert into mytable select * from some_other_table;
but I can't find the right syntax to use with either an update or replace. Ideally I'd like to do something like this:
update mytable set mytable.a=(select other_table.some_column from other_table where other_table.some_column=mytable.a+1) where mytable.b=6;
The goal is to set a column in a to a value based on a column in another table when b in the same record has a specific attribute.
Can I do this?
Thanks,
bob
