Joined file SQL view is likely to be read-only, hence it would not
updateable.
John needs to review UPDATE syntax a bit as there is no FROM in the base
UPDATE syntax (there is in subselects, which are often used in UPDATEs for
join purposes).
I'll give it a go for your UPDATE statement, but make sure you test it
first
John:

UPDATE rugd80dat.asbacpp r1
SET bai1tx = 'N', bai2tx = 'N'
WHERE (r1.baartx = 'APV' or r1.baartx = 'MPV' or r1.baartx = 'SPV' or
r1.baartx = 'EPV')
AND r1.bai1tx = ' ' and r1.bai2tx = ' ' AND
EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM rugd80dat.pmsp0200 r2
WHERE r1.baartx = r2.symbol and r1.baastx = r2.policy0num and r1.baadnb =
r2.module AND r2.trans0stat = 'V' and r2.renewal0cd = '1')

Subject: Re: SQL - Updates with joins

I've never seen an update statement with a FROM clause or a JOIN for that
matter.   I suggest creating a view that combines the two files and then
run the update over the new view.

I am having a problem generating the correct SQL script run in iSeries
Navigator.



This is what I have so far:



Update rugd80dat.asbacpp

set bai1tx = 'N', bai2tx = 'N'

from rugd80dat.asbacpp r1,rugd80dat.pmsp0200 r2

where (r1.baartx = r2.symbol and r1.baastx = r2.policy0num and r1.baadnb =
r2.module)

and (r1.baartx = 'APV' or  r1.

baartx = 'MPV' or r1.baartx = 'SPV' or r1.baartx = 'EPV')

and (r1.bai1tx = ' ' and r1.bai2tx = ' ')

and (r2.trans0stat = 'V' and r2.renewal0cd = '1')

When run as a select statement, it returns the correct rows.  When changed
to do the actual update, it reports an unexpected 'from'.  Any
recommendations?  I tried with a 'where exists' with a select subquery, but
it ended up hitting all the rows in the asbacpp table, not just the handful
in the query result.
