https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/output-clause-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15Already have a question about OUTPUT.
In the UPDATE I set the new value of the column QTY_LEFT. And then, based on the value in this column, I have to set the value of the column REC_ID. So, my understanding - since the order of evaluation is not certain - to use the New Value of the column QTY_LEFT when setting the value of REC_ID.
So, my question, can I SET the value of column REC_ID
after I have the OUTPUT command?
