How do I update table1
with results of this query –
x
select b.description from
table1 c
join
(
SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description
FROM table2 a
) b
on b.hcpc = c.hcpc
where c.description = '0'
I want to do something like this –
update table1
set table1.description = (select b.description from table1 c
join
(
SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description
FROM table2 a
) b
on b.hcpc = c.hcpc
where c.description = '0'
)

Answer
This question has been answered many times in SO… anyway, the query should be built this way
One option
update table1 c
set description = b.description
from
(
SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description
FROM table2 a
) b
where b.hcpc = c.hcpc
and c.description = '0'
Other option
with t as (
SELECT distinct a.hcpc, a.description
FROM table2 a
)
update table1 c
set description = t.description
from t
where t.hcpc = c.hcpc
and c.description = '0'
Surely there are other additional ways…
