How do i make this query work, so that where contacts.first_name='Accounts' it inserts a 'Y' into contactlist.list_flag. Currently the FLAG is null when i run this query.
SELECT contacts.id, contacts.address_id, contacts.address_name, contacts.date_created, contacts.first_name, contacts.last_name, contacts.title,
contactlist.list_flag
FROM P21.dbo.contacts AS contacts LEFT OUTER JOIN
P21.dbo.contactlist AS contactlist ON contacts.id = contactlist.contact_id
WHERE (contacts.first_name = 'ACCOUNTS')
ORDER BY contacts.address_id
When i run an update
UPDATE P21.dbo.contactlist
SET list_flag = 'Y'
FROM P21.dbo.contacts AS contacts LEFT OUTER JOIN
P21.dbo.contactlist ON contacts.id = P21.dbo.contactlist.contact_id
WHERE (contacts.first_name = 'ACCOUNTS')
i get 4 records updated, i want to insert the value 'Y' into all of the contact_id that have a list_flag value of NULL or blank. Can anyone help me?
