In SQL Server, it is possible to insert rows into a table with an INSERT.. SELECT
statement:
INSERT INTO Table (col1, col2, col3) SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM other_table WHERE sql = 'cool'
Is it also possible to update a table with SELECT
? I have a temporary table containing the values and would like to update another table using those values. Perhaps something like this:
UPDATE Table SET col1, col2 SELECT col1, col2 FROM other_table WHERE sql = 'cool' WHERE Table.id = other_table.id

UPDATE Table_A SET Table_A.col1 = Table_B.col1, Table_A.col2 = Table_B.col2 FROM Some_Table AS Table_A INNER JOIN Other_Table AS Table_B ON Table_A.id = Table_B.id WHERE Table_A.col3 = 'cool'
