SQL query (PostgreSQL) looks like that:
UPDATE a
SET "PropertyAddress" = COALESCE(a."PropertyAddress", b."PropertyAddress")
FROM "NashvilleHousingData" a
INNER JOIN "NashvilleHousingData" b
ON a."ParcelID" = b."ParcelID"
AND a."UniqueID" <> b."UniqueID"
WHERE a."PropertyAddress" IS NULL;
And the error is relation "a" does not exist
I tried other advices about the notion in the code public or scheme, but it still doesn't work. Please, help
This is not how Postgres handles updates with more than one table. You don't repeat the table in the from clause:
UPDATE "NashvilleHousingData" nhd
SET "PropertyAddress" = COALESCE(nhd."PropertyAddress", nhd2."PropertyAddress")
FROM "NashvilleHousingData" nhd2
WHERE nhd2."ParcelID" = nhd."ParcelID" AND
nhd2."UniqueID" <> nhd."UniqueID"
WHERE nhd."PropertyAddress" IS NULL;
Also, the COALESCE() is superfluous because the value is known to be NULL:
SET "PropertyAddress" = nhd2."PropertyAddress"

I am trying to make an update on a temporal table I created in Redshift. The code I am trying to run goes like this:
UPDATE #new_emp
SET rpt_to_emp_id = CAST(ht.se_value AS INTEGER),
rpt_to_extrnl_email = ht.extrnl_email_addr,
rpt_to_fst_nm = ht.first_nm,
rpt_to_lst_nm = ht.last_nm,
rpt_to_mdl_init = ht.mdl_nm,
rpt_to_nm = ht.full_nm,
rpt_to_ssn = CAST(ht.ssn AS INTEGER),
FROM #new_emp,
(SELECT DISTINCT t.se_value,h.first_nm,h.last_nm,
h.mdl_nm,h.full_nm,h.ssn,h.extrnl_email_addr
FROM spec_hr.dtbl_translate_codes_dw t, spec_hr.emp_hron h
WHERE t.inf_name = 'system'
AND t.fld_name = 'HRONDirector'
AND h.foreign_emp_id = t.se_value
) ht
WHERE #new_emp.foreign_emp_id <> ht.se_value
AND (#new_emp.emp_status_cd <> 'T'
AND (#new_emp.ult_rpt_emp_id = #new_emp.foreign_emp_id
OR #new_emp.ult_rpt_emp_id = #new_emp.psoft_id
OR #new_emp.ult_rpt_emp_id IS NULL));
I've tried both with and without specyfing the updated table from the FROM command. But it keeps throwing me this error:
ERROR: Target table must be part of an equijoin predicate
Any ideas why is this failing? Thank you!
Redshift needs an equality join condition to know what value to update and with which values. Your join condition is "#new_emp.foreign_emp_id <> ht.se_value" which is an inequality or Redshift speak - this is not "an equijoin predicate". You have a SET of "rpt_to_lst_nm = ht.last_nm" but if the only join condition is an inequality then which value of last_nm is Redshift putting in the table?
To put it the other way around - you need to tell Redshift exactly which rows of the target table are receiving which values (equijoin). The join condition you have doesn't meet this requirement.
I have a stored procedure in which I want to update some columns, so I wrote below code:
PROCEDURE UPDATE_MST_INFO_BKC (
P_SAPID IN NVARCHAR2
) AS
BEGIN
MERGE INTO tbl_ipcolo_billing_mst I
USING (
SELECT
R4G_STATE, -- poilitical state name
R4G_STATECODE, -- poilitical state code
CIRCLE, -- city name
NE_ID,
LATITUDE,
LONGITUDE,
SAP_ID
FROM
R4G_OSP.ENODEB
WHERE
SAP_ID = P_SAPID
AND ROWNUM = 1
)
O ON ( I.SAP_ID = O.SAP_ID )
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET I.POLITICAL_STATE_NAME = O.R4G_STATE,
I.POLITICAL_STATE_CODE = O.R4G_STATECODE,
I.CITY_NAME = O.CIRCLE,
I.NEID = O.NE_ID,
I.FACILITY_LATITUDE = O.LATITUDE,
I.FACILITY_LONGITUDE = O.LONGITUDE,
I.SAP_ID = O.SAP_ID;
END UPDATE_MST_INFO_BKC;
But it is giving me error as
ORA-38104: Columns referenced in the ON Clause cannot be updated: "I"."SAP_ID"
What am I doing wrong?
You are joining the source to destination tables on I.SAP_ID = O.SAP_ID and then, when matched, are trying to update them and set I.SAP_ID = O.SAP_ID. You cannot update the columns used in the join ... and why would you want to as you have already determined that the values are equal.
Just remove the last line of the UPDATE:
...
O ON ( I.SAP_ID = O.SAP_ID )
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET I.POLITICAL_STATE_NAME = O.R4G_STATE,
I.POLITICAL_STATE_CODE = O.R4G_STATECODE,
I.CITY_NAME = O.CIRCLE,
I.NEID = O.NE_ID,
I.FACILITY_LATITUDE = O.LATITUDE,
I.FACILITY_LONGITUDE = O.LONGITUDE;
The error message tells you what the problem is - a MERGE statement cannot update the columns used in the ON clause - and even tells you what column is the problem: "I"."SAP_ID".
So Oracle hurls ORA-38104 because of this line in your WHEN MATCHED branch
I.SAP_ID = O.SAP_ID;
Remove it and your problem disappears. Fortunately the line is unnecessary: I.SAP_ID already equals O.SAP_ID, otherwise the record wouldn't go down the MATCHED branch.
The reason why is quite straightforward: transactional consistency. The MERGE statement operates over a set of records defined by the USING clause and the ON clause. Updating the columns used in the ON clause threatens the integrity of that set, and so Oracle forbids it.
I wish to update a table using, but need to use another table to get the correct field. The new information is not taken from another field from another table.
The following SQL statement returns the correct information:
SELECT PURCHASEHEADER.ORDERNOTES
FROM PURCHASEHEADER, ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE
WHERE ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE.HEADERSYSUNIQUEID = 72637001
AND PURCHASEHEADER.ORDERNUMBER = ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE.PURCHASEORDERNUMBER
I have tried the following:
UPDATE PURCHASEHEADER SET PURCHASEHEADER.ORDERNOTES = 'Updated'
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE
WHERE PURCHASEHEADER.ORDERNUMBER = ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE.PURCHASEORDERNUMBER
) AND ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE.HEADERSYSUNIQUEID = 72637001
An error is returned saying: " ...Column Unknown ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE.HEADERSYSUNIQUEID..." but it does exist as it works in the first query.
I have seen similar posts from Mark Rotteveel dated July 2017, but still can't get it to work.
There is an issue with your closing bracket. Try this, it worked for me.
UPDATE PURCHASEHEADER set PURCHASEHEADER.ORDERNOTES = 'Updated'
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE WHERE
PURCHASEHEADER.ORDERNUMBER = ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE.PURCHASEORDERNUMBER AND
ASSEMBLYLINESOURCE.HEADERSYSUNIQUEID = 72637001)
I have query
UPDATE THD
SET RepostFlag = 'Y'
,RunListNoRetroPolicyPrepay = ?
,RetroObject = ?
FROM TranHead AS THD
JOIN (
SELECT CustPolicyNo AS CustPolicyNo
,MIN(PremPeriod) AS PremPeriod
FROM TranHead
WHERE RepostFlag = 'Y'
AND PayoutTypeNo = ?
GROUP BY CustPolicyNo
) AS THDToBeReposted ON THD.CustPolicyNo = THDToBeReposted.CustPolicyNo
WHERE THD.RepostFlag = 'N'
AND THD.PremPeriod > THDToBeReposted.PremPeriod
fails in H2 with following message
Table "THD" not found;
I looked at http://www.h2database.com/html/grammar.html#table_expression to see if H2 supports selects in join. It appears it does. Maybe I am missing something when looking at the grammar, but it seems to me that the query should work in H2.
Anyone see what is wrong?
Thanks.
I don't believe FROM is allowed in the UPDATE syntax.
You can't update an alias, you need to have the table name specified.
Complementary to other answers, JOIN (just as FROM) is not allowed in UPDATE for H2. It would be allowed in a sub query.
Essentially, stick to the basic syntax:
UPDATE SomeTable as SomeAlias
SET SomeField = ?
WHERE (%GoWild%)
Whether or not you need the alias is up to your where clause.

I am getting the following error while executing the following query in an Stored Procedure. Could anyone help in finding the fault?
UPDATE is not allowed because the statement updates view "sup_item" which participates in a join and has an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger.
UPDATE si
SET
name = mc.name,
sup_item_cat_id = mc.res_sup_item_cat_id,
xf_value = mc.xf_value,
ava_start_date = mc.ava_start_date,
ava_end_date = mc.ava_end_date,
status_code = mc.status_code,
last_mod_us_id = CASE WHEN mc.last_mod_us_id = 42 THEN #posting_us_id
ELSE mc.last_mod_us_id END,
last_mod_tsp = CURRENT_tsp
FROM sup_item AS si
JOIN merch_cat_imp_sup_item AS mc
ON mc.sup_id = si.sup_id
AND mc.res_sup_item_id = si.sup_item_id
AND mc.cat_imp_event_id = #cat_imp_event_id
AND mc.accept_flag = 'y'
WHERE si.shi_flag = 'n'
I found the reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177523.aspx
A view with an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger cannot be a target of an
UPDATE with a FROM clause.
So, I have to rewrite the UPDATE statement (it still can be in a procedure) to NOT use sup_item (which is a view), but keep the underlying table(s) as needed.
Could someone please rewrite it, if anyone knows what to do?
You can use MERGE to achieve this. Try:
MERGE INTO sup_item si
USING merch_cat_imp_sup_item AS mc
ON mc.sup_id = si.sup_id
AND mc.res_sup_item_id = si.sup_item_id
AND mc.cat_imp_event_id = #cat_imp_event_id
AND mc.accept_flag = 'y'
AND si.shi_flag = 'n'
WHEN MATCHED
THEN UPDATE
SET
name = mc.name,
sup_item_cat_id = mc.res_sup_item_cat_id,
xf_value = mc.xf_value,
ava_start_date = mc.ava_start_date,
ava_end_date = mc.ava_end_date,
status_code = mc.status_code,
last_mod_us_id = CASE WHEN mc.last_mod_us_id = 42 THEN #posting_us_id
ELSE mc.last_mod_us_id END,
last_mod_tsp = CURRENT_tsp
The issue is not within your query. As per comments on your question, the entity you are updating [sup_item], isn't actually a table, it's a view. That view has an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger on it.
Are you able to post the SQL for the View and for the Trigger(s)?
I would also be interested, because I have a stored procedure in a database that I have inherited which tries to do this. It won't let me create the sproc in SQL 2014, but the fact that it is there in the sproc indicates to me that an earlier version of SQL server must have allowed this.
Maybe in earlier versions your procedure operated on a table, which was later replaced by a view.
You should replace your "update from" syntax by standard ANSI syntax of update.
