>>Hi,

>>I would like to create a SQL UPDATE that will update from a subquery. I have seen it here (on UT) but can't seem to find a message with an example. What I am trying to do is to have UPDATE that sets a value in a field based on the calculations done in another table in a sub-query. That is, I would have something like this:

Thank you very much.
