All:
I have a main table (Parameters) which contains system parameters

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE WorkingParameters AS SELECT * from Parameters;
I modify the parameters in the temporary table, and occasionally I may
want to save them. Reading the sqlite documentation, I thought I
would be valid to execute
UPDATE Parameters SET value = temp.WorkingParameters.value; But I get
an error stating that temp.workingparameters.value does not exist.
I thought I was correctly following the sql syntax ... this was my
reasoning, but I think I am misunderstanding something.
sql-statement ::= UPDATE table-name SET assignment
assignment ::= column-name = expr
expr ::= database-name . table-name . column-name
Could someone please help me with my query?
Thanks,

I just came across REPLACE INTO. This may work for my situation, but
I would use an UPDATE statement, so I can use a WHERE clause.
Basically the main parameter table has several parameter types, which
I wanted to extract into several tables (each table consisting of one
type). Then when I put them back into the master table I would use a
WHERE to accomplish this.
