Update Query from Multiple Tables
I have this query that returns the rows that need updated:
I wish to populate the b.ALS_UIN_NO with the values from a.als_UINNO
I thought I could do it with something like this:
update components
set ALS_UIN_NO = (select a.als_uinno
from alsunitconverttable a, components b, accounts c
where b.account_id = c.account_id
and c.lab_id = '224'
and a.samplePointDesc = b.COMPONENT_DESC
and a.sam_acct = b.lab_cno
and a.u_UnitNo = b.lab_unit_id
and a.u_compSerNo = b.lab_comp_id)
But I get this error:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
The statement has been terminated.
Not sure how to structure the update statement better than what I currently have... Solution please, please.. thanks.
select a.als_UINNO, b.ALS_UIN_NO
from alsUnitConvertTable a, components b, accounts c

and a.sam_acct = b.lab_cno
and a.u_UnitNo = b.lab_unit_id
and a.u_compSerNo = b.lab_comp_id
order by b.lab_unit_id
