Hi Jahnavi,


 


try this way..


Update  a


set a.Column1=b.column1


from <Table> a


inner join <Table> b


on a.column=b.column


where <condition>


 


eg: update a


set a.deptid=b.deptid


from emp a


inner join dept b


on a.deptno=b.deptno


where a.empname='john'


 


please correct me ,if i'm wrong.

Thanks for your reply. The query you shared is working fine and I got some idea on how to use JOINS to update the tables.

Please keep on sharing the SQL quires for interview purpose.
I have faced this question in an interview, until I don't there is a possibility to update tables using joins.

Thanks,
Jahnavi.
