I get an error Invalid column name 'BookingDate' for the following query. The column is there. What is wrong?
BEGIN TRANSACTION updateBookingFeeByFeeTypeId
UPDATE b
SET b.StandardFee = 22
FROM
Core.Booking b
INNER JOIN Core.Fee f
ON f.FeeId = b.FeeId
INNER JOIN Core.FeeSchedule fs
ON fs.FeeId = f.FeeId
WHERE FeeScheduleId = 8193
AND b.BookingDate >= '15-jul-2014'
AND StandardFee <> 22
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION updateBookingFeeByFeeTypeId
COMMIT TRANSACTION updateBookingFeeByFeeTypeId
What's wrong is that I made a faulty assumption. The column doesn't exist. I made this assumption after referencing a complex view that's confusing, and makes it look like the booking table contains this column when it actually doesn't

I'm try to update a column in table B with a value in table A where the passport_no match.
Below is my sql query.
update tabel_b
set b.country_id = a.national_id
from table_a a
join tabel_b b on b.passport_no = a.passport_no
where a.is_deleted = false;
On executing, I get ERROR: column "b" of relation "tabel_b" does not exist
How can I go about this please.
The immediate error is that you can't qualify the column you want to update. So it should be set country_id = ...
The bigger problem is however your join.
As documented in the manual
Do not repeat the target table as a from_item unless you intend a self-join
So the correct statement most probably should be:
update tabel_b
set country_id = a.national_id
from table_a a
where b.passport_no = a.passport_no
and a.is_deleted = false;
I need to update a column in one of my tables based on data from 2 other tables.
So I want the column isAvailable, in the table questionObjectives, to be set to 1 based on 2 conditions and this is what I have:
UPDATE
dbo.questObjectives
SET
isAvailable = 1
FROM
dbo.questObjectives qo
INNER JOIN
dbo.dungeonList dl
ON
qo.questID = dl.questID
WHERE dl.dungeonType = 17
AND qo.objectiveID IN(SELECT objectiveID FROM gameMissions)
So to translate, isAvailable should be set to 1 if:
the linked dungeonList type is 17
the questionObjectives objectiveID is in the table gameMissions
So I thought I had my logic right, but I keep getting this error:
'invalid column name isAvailable.'
But it is there. It is in the questionObjectives table so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Is this what you want?
update qo
set qo.isavailable = 1
from questObjectives qo
inner join dungeonList dl on qo.questID = dl.questID
where
dl.dungeonList = 17
and exists (select 1 from gameMissions gm where gm.objectiveID = qo.objectiveID)
The main problem with your query is that you have target table questObjectives both in the update and from clauses; you should have it just once, in the from clause, and then refer to the alias in the update clause.
I also rewrote the in condition as a correlated subquery with exists - the logic is the same, but this might perform better.
I have three tables(A, B, and C) and would like to update null values in A.appointment_id with values in C.tc_appointment_id. Table A and C can be joined via table B. Blue arrows represent joins, the red arrow represents the update I am trying to achieve.
I am able to join the three tables together and have tried to modify my select statement into an update. My successful select statement and unsuccessful update follow.
--Working select
select A.tc_ASN_id,A.appointment_id, B.appt_obj_id, B.appointment_id, C.appointment_id, C.tc_appointment_id from B
join A on B.appt_obj_id = A.asn_id
join C on C.appointment_id = B.appointment_id
where C.appt_status < '9' and A.appointment_id is null;
--Update attempt that ends with SQL Error: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
update asn set appoinmtent_id = ilm_appointments.tc_appointment_id
join ilm_appointment_objects on ilm_appointment_objects.appt_obj_id = asn.asn_id
join ilm_appointments on ilm_appointments.appointment_id = ilm_appointment_objects.appointment_id
where ilm_appointments.appt_status < '9' and asn.appointment_id is null;
The expected result is to update all null values for A.appointment_id to be updated with the values from C.tc_appointment_id.
UPDATE...JOIN syntax is not supported in Oracle. You could use a correlated subquery instead.
Consider:
UPDATE A
SET A.appointment_id = (
SELECT C.tc_appointment_id
FROM B
INNER JOIN C ON C.appointment_id = B.appointment_id
WHERE B.appt_obj_id = A.asn_id
)
WHERE A.appointment_id IS NULL;
Beware that the subquery must return a unique record, otherwise you will get an error like "subquery returned more than one row". Given your sample data this seems to be the OK.
I'm trying to put together a query that updates a field within a table. I'm attempting to run a sub select query that gives me a number, and then use that number that resulted from the sub-query as part of the criteria for the update query.
USE EMMS
Update [2_import_VZW_tbl_SMTN]
set [2_import_VZW_tbl_SMTN].[Client_ID] =[tbl_Foundation_Account].[Client_ID]
where ([tbl_Foundation_Account].[Foundation_Account_ID] =
(Select TOP 1 tbl_Foundation_Account.Foundation_Account_ID
FROM tbl_Foundation_Account
INNER JOIN [2_Import_tbl_AWCDSU]
ON tbl_Foundation_Account.Foundation_Account_ID =
[2_Import_tbl_AWCDSU].[ECPD Profile ID]))
My issue is I keep receiving this error
The multi-part identifier
tbl_Foundation_Account.Foundation_Account_ID" could not be bound.
Am I using the sub-query incorrectly? When I've received this error before, it's been because of some ambiguity in the table or field names, but this time I've checked for all that and it should be fine. Can anyone explain what SQL sin I have committed?
On the error
The multi-part identifier
tbl_Foundation_Account.Foundation_Account_ID" could not be bound.
This is because the table column [tbl_Foundation_Account].[Client_ID] does not exists in the scope of outer UPDATEquery .
The only table the outer query has an inkling about is [2_import_VZW_tbl_SMTN] and it does not have a column like [tbl_Foundation_Account].[Client_ID].
It is akin to writing a column name with a typo or like you said
When I've received this error before, it's been because of some
ambiguity in the table or field names
Please try a query like below.
Note that I am using Inner query syntax and ensuring that a single value is returned by using
select top 1 [Client_ID]
in the inner query. rest of the query syntax is same.
USE EMMS
Update [2_import_VZW_tbl_SMTN]
set [2_import_VZW_tbl_SMTN].[Client_ID] =
(
select top 1 [Client_ID]
from [tbl_Foundation_Account]
where [Foundation_Account_ID] =
(
Select TOP 1 a.Foundation_Account_ID
FROM tbl_Foundation_Account a
INNER JOIN [2_Import_tbl_AWCDSU] b
ON a.Foundation_Account_ID = b.[ECPD Profile ID]
)
)
Another poster submitted this answer earlier, but then deleted it. I was able to try it before they deleted it and it works exactly how I needed it to work. I will use this as the right answer unless someone else can tell me why this is a bad Idea.
USE EMMS
Update [2_import_VZW_tbl_SMTN]
set [2_import_VZW_tbl_SMTN].[Client_ID] = [tbl_Foundation_Account].[Client_ID]
from [tbl_Foundation_Account]
where ([tbl_Foundation_Account].[Foundation_Account_ID] =
(Select TOP 1 tbl_Foundation_Account.Foundation_Account_ID
FROM tbl_Foundation_Account
INNER JOIN [2_Import_tbl_AWCDSU]
ON tbl_Foundation_Account.Foundation_Account_ID = [2_Import_tbl_AWCDSU].[ECPD Profile ID]))
Sorry if the title is unclear. Basically I'm trying to select certain records from multiple tables then update a certain column value for the returned records.

UPDATE
CUSTOMERS
SET
LIKES_US = 'Y'
FROM
RESTAURANT REST INNER JOIN CUSTOMERS CUST ON REST.LINK_ID = CUST.LINK_ID
WHERE
REST.REST_TYPE = 'Diner' AND CUST.LIKES_US IS NULL
Oracle
UPDATE
(SELECT CUST.LIKES_US
FROM CUSTOMERS CUST INNER JOIN RESTAURANT REST ON CUST.LINK_ID=REST.LINK_ID
WHERE REST.REST_TYPE = 'Diner' AND CUST.LIKES_US IS NULL) NEW_CUST
SET
NEW_CUST.LIKES_US = 'Y';
I am tried doing the same thing in Teradata as I did in Oracle but I get the following error:
Executed as Single statement. Failed [3707 : 42000] Syntax error, expected something like a name or a Unicode delimited identifier or an 'UDFCALLNAME' keyword between the 'UPDATE' keyword and '('.
Elapsed time = 00:00:00.003
STATEMENT 1: Unknown failed.
I looked online for the solution but had no luck.
Have you tried the following syntax with Teradata:
UPDATE CUSTOMERS C1
FROM (SELECT C2.LINK_ID
FROM CUSTOMERS C2
INNER JOIN RESTAURANTS R2
ON C2.LINK_ID = R2.LINK_ID
WHERE R2.REST_TYPE = 'DINER'
AND C2.LIKES_US IS NULL) D1
SET LIKES_US = 'Y'
WHERE C1.LINK_ID = C2.LINK_ID
I think that in this specific case, the below query will perform a little better since it needs one less join.
UPDATE C
FROM CUSTOMERS C, RESTAURANTS R
SET LIKES_US = 'Y'
WHERE
C.LINK_ID = R.LINK_ID
AND R.REST_TYPE = 'DINER'
AND C.LIKES_US IS NULL
