How did you populate the first two fields of the leagueplayers relation? Since SQLite doesn't do ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN there must have been an old leagueplayers table without the new fields.
So why not INSERT INTO <new table> SELECT o.playerid,o.leagueid,p.rank,p.rank from <old table> o LEFT JOIN players p ON o.playerid = p.playerid; and add the values for the new fields during the initial load? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Igor Korot [mailto:ikoro...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Freitag, 25.

Consider following schema: CREATE TABLE players( playerid INTEGER, name TEXT, rank INTEGER, PRIMARY KEY playerid); CREATE TABLE leagueplayers(playerid INTEGER, leagueid INTEGER, original_rank INTEGER, current_rank INTEGER); The players table is populated. What I'm trying to do is to populate the second table with the last 2 fields: original_rank and current_rank. So I was thinking of something like this: UPDATE leagueplayers SET original_rank = (SELECT rank FROM players AS a), current_rank= a WHERE players.playerid = leagueplayers.playerid; But I guess this query will not work. ;-) Any idea how to make the proper query?
