becuase the subquery results in mutiple rowss.
I want the first row to update title1,fname1,mname1,lname1,degs1
and use the second row by using "limit 1 offset 1" to
update title2,fname2,mname2,lname2,degs2 etc
do u still want me to try the query u gave?
(actually i did try and its giving some trivial error)
