| is it possible to combine an update and insert query into one query. What I'd like to do is insert new data into one table and update a column in a record in the same table at the same time. |

| I think its possible, just put the two statements one on top of each other and try it out. It should work.I do something like: ------------------create table waits( sku varchar(64),weight float,) BULK INSERT waits FROM 'Z:\master weights - 5-03-10.csv' WITH ( FIRSTROW = 2, FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' ) alter table waits add TRUESHIPCOST float update waits set trueshipcost = .9+(1.8*waits.weight)) -----------------------------------on a daily basis. Is something like this what your trying to do? |
