What should happen in the (presumably quite likely) case where both conditions are true - Subject does not contain 'last' but does contain 'current'? Assuming you meant the first condition to read "Subject contains 'last' ", you want something like this: update m set Value = case when Subject like '%last%' then 5 when Subject like '%current%' then 3 else Value end; -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
