Hi Experts,
I'm looking to write SQL statements affecting all tables of my database.
For example
A- Create a new field for each table Named DateExported (DateTime)
B- Set that DateExported field to today's date for all records in all tables.
C- Write some SQL like the following, "Delete * from ...(each table name here) Where DateExported is null"
How can these be accomplished the easiest way?
I recall doing that in excel a while back, by setting a formula and dragging down to all rows but dont remember exactly the formula.
I do have an excel sheet containing all my table names.
Thanks in advance
