How do I do a multiple UPDATE ... WHERE ... ?
Question:
Is there a more efficient way to write this simple UPDATE query:
update Table1
set Field1 = 'String1' where Field2 = 'Value1';
update Table1
set Field1 = 'String2' where Field2 = 'Value2';
...
update Table1
set Field1 = 'StringN' where Field2 = 'ValueN'; ?

Worked fine. Thanks.
or if the where clause and value to be set have something common then do like this
update Table1
set Field1 = Replace(Field2, 'Value', 'String')
