I have been doing fine with select, insert, update and such statements but all of a sudden I was given a problem I am not sure how to handle:

I was given 2 tables

One that has a field called "labelname" (about 2 million records):

labelname
--------------
asprin 50 tab
aspirin liquid
aspirin 30 tab
lotion 500mg
...

One table has a “like” field (checkme) and a quantity field (about 200 records)

checkme quantity
------- --------
asp%30% 7
lotion% 20
...

I need to loop through each labelname and if it matches the "checkme" field, do a calculation based on the "quantity" field

Can this be done in a SQL query statement - is it possible ?

Thank you

John
