Hi folks

I've got a table of pieces of equipment.
One piece of equipment may be owned by another piece of equipment, and 
may own multiple other pieces.

To hold the relationship I have a piece_pieces table holding the owner 
(pp_id) part id and the owned part ids (pp_part).

I'v realised I can store this within the original table so I've added an 
owner attribute.  I need to now populate this now from the other table, 
but I can't work out how.

I've got  pieces table

p_id		-- part id
p_owner	-- new owner attribute

piece_pieces table

pp_id	-- id of owner
pp_part	-- id of owned
