SQL Update Statement Help Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I am trying to update all contacts which are the ONLY contact for an account to make them the primary contact. I tried executing the following SQL statement in the SLX Administrator, but I get errors: Failed to parse SQL
update contact
set isprimary = 'T'
from contact c1
INNER JOIN (
select accountid
from contact
group by accountid
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1 ) c2
ON c1.accountiD = c2.accountid
where (isprimary is null or isprimary = 'F')

I then tried using a temp table to hold the account ids to be updated instead of the subquery, but that didn't work either. It doesn't seem to be able to create tables using a script. Both queries work fine in SQL Server Query Analyzer, but I need the changes to be synched down to the remote databases, so I need to run them in the SLX Admin. I am on SLX ver 6.1.3 Any suggestions?

The SLX OLEDB provider does not support UPDATE ... FROM ... queries, so forget that.

If you can recast your query to use a subquery instead, it has a far greater chance of running.

UPDATE CONTACT
SET IsPrimary = 'T'
Where Contact.ContactID IN (Select c2.ContactID from Contact C2 ......)

6.1.3 ... that was a long time ago - good luck.
