hello and thanks in advance for any help.
I am getting an error: 'Syntax Error (missing operator) in query expression' and I do not know why... any ideas?
This is my query:
UPDATE
table1
SET
table1.country_name = table2.COUNTRY,
table1.city = table2.CITY ,
table1.state = table2.STATE
FROM
( table1
inner join
table2
ON
table2.SITE_ID = table1.SiteID )
where
table1.country_name is null;
There is no FROM clause in an UPDATE query in Access/Jet SQL:
UPDATE table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.SiteID = table2.SITE_ID
SET table1.country_name = table2.COUNTRY,
table1.city = table2.CITY ,
table1.state = table2.STATE
WHERE table1.country_name is null;
Lose the parenthesis around the joined tables. In addition I would personally make an alias for table1 and table2 and reference the table1 alias in the update. Like this:
UPDATE t1
SET
t1.country_name = t2.COUNTRY,
t1.city = t2.CITY,
t1.state = t2.STATE
FROM table1 t1
INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t2.SITE_ID = t1.SiteID
WHERE
t1.country_name is null;
