BULK UPDATE

[GaryMans 0]

Hi All,

I am hoping someone can point me into the right direction with this one.

So i have two databases, the one is used to update costings (dbs1) for different products using multiple tables. The other dbs (dbs2) is used to store costings of an existing project

I then at the end of my design process use a query to update dbs1 with dbs2. here is the syntax;

THIS WORKS... 
UPDATE SSRevitProject1.dbo.WindowTypes
SET Cost = new.Cost
FROM SSRevitCostings.dbo.SSParkHomeCostings AS new
WHERE SSRevitProject1.dbo.WindowTypes.Model = new.Model

THIS DONT WORK...
UPDATE SSRevitProject1.dbo.CaseworkTypes 
SET Cost = new.Cost
FROM SSRevitCostings.dbo.SSContainerCostings AS new
WHERE SSRevitProject1.dbo.CaseworkTypes.Model = new.Model

The problem i have is that SQL is for some reason not using one of my tables in dbs1 to update dbs2.

I hope this is clear enough.

Hi NIche,

 

A little confused as to where i should add the INNER JOIN... 

THis is what i have...

UPDATE SSRevitProject1.dbo.CaseworkTypes 
SET Cost = new.Cost
FROM SSRevitCostings.dbo.SSContainerCostings AS new
WHERE SSRevitProject1.dbo.CaseworkTypes.Model = new.Model

 

Sorry i am a bit of a newby so if you can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

The syntax differs based on which database you're using:
