Hello Is this possible to do something like that: Table A contains column CosnumerLogon that stores data in the format:firstname.lastname@email.com or usernumber@email.com (e.g. 123456789@email.com)Table B contains e mail address and userNumber. I would like to update all the ConsumerLogon records in TableA in the format of 123456789@email.comto the proper e mail address from table B.Here is what I have: UPDATE A SET ConsumerLogon = (SELECT email FROM TABLE B WHERE userNumber = LEFT (A.ConsumerLogon ,CHARINDEX ( '@' , A.ConsumerLogon , 1 ) -1) )Seems like the subquery expression does not receive ConsumerLogon from the outer query.So general question is that: is this possible to refer to outer query in subquery expression? Thanks! |
