GaryMans 0 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

justsomeguy 1,135 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 The syntax differs based on which database you're using: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/224732/sql-update-from-one-table-to-another-based-on-a-id-match Quote Link to post Share on other sites
