Guys,
on page this
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-update.html, it is not
specified if a join can be done between multiple tables to update a table, i
tried and it worked just fine for me. Something like this :
Infact update can work between multiple tables to... do something like :
UPDATE employees SET sales_count = a.sales_count FROM accounts as a
WHERE a.name = 'Acme Corporation'
AND employees.id = a.sales_person;
considering sales_count as a column in accounts table.
Regards,
Moiz
