Doug writes "The 3rd party application I'm working on is using cursors extensively. I would like to find a set based solution to this problem.I am wanting to perform an update to the first and last name of a customer and then insert this customer_no into a temp tableI then want to update the salutation table for these modified customer name that exisit in my temp table by firing off the application's provided stored procedure which returns the salutation pieces. This is the way it is done currently using the application's own cursor approach<Inner operation of the cursor which loops through each customer one by one>Insert #sals Exec BUILD_SAL @customer_no = @customer_no Select @sal1_desc = sal1_desc, @sal2_desc = sal2_desc, @lsal_desc = lsal_desc From #sals Update salutation Set sal1_desc = @sal1_desc, sal2_desc = @sal2_desc, lsal_desc = @lsal_desc Where customer_no = @customer_no " |

While it appears that there has to be a lot of code that you didn't post, you could use:UPDATE salutation SET sal1_desc = @sal1_desc, sal2_desc = @sal2_desc, lsal_desc = @lsal_desc ...to replace what you've posted.-PatP |
