Hi,

I have to update a table with mutple rows that I am getting from an In list. This is the query that I have to get the rows I need inserted.


Select CustomerID
From dbo.Customer
Where IsRegistered = 1
And CustomerID Not In (	Select CustomerID From dbo.WheyCool_Member_Refer )

I need to add all of those rows to tableb. How do I do that without a loop or a cursor?

Table b Looks like this. The list from above goes into cid.

Thanks,

First, you should be using a join:

Select c.CustomerID
From dbo.Customer c
join w.WheyCool_Member_Refer on c.CustomerID = w.CustomerID
Where c.IsRegistered = 1

And now use it in an update:

UPDATE b
SET cid = c.CustomerID
FROM tableb b
INNER JOIN dbo.Customer c on b.cid = c.CustomerID
join w.WheyCool_Member_Refer on c.CustomerID = w.CustomerID
Where c.IsRegistered = 1

Ok, you said update and insert in your post, so I wasn't sure:

quote:

I have to update a table

Just use this then:

INSERT INTO tableb (cid)
Select c.CustomerID, 966
From dbo.Customer c
join w.WheyCool_Member_Refer on c.CustomerID = w.CustomerID
Where c.IsRegistered = 1

I think you mean a LEFT JOIN with WHERE ... IS NULL,
since OP wrote "NOT IN"...

Missed the NOT IN, yes indeed need a LEFT JOIN WHERE ... IS NULL.

New version:

INSERT INTO tableb (cid, mid)
Select c.CustomerID, 966
From dbo.Customer c
left join w.WheyCool_Member_Refer on c.CustomerID = w.CustomerID
Where c.IsRegistered = 1 and w.CustomerID IS NULL

[code]INSERT TableB
(

)
SELECT DISTINCT c.CustomerID,
966
FROM Customer AS c
LEFT JOIN WheyCool_Member_Refer AS wmr ON wmr.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
WHERE c.IsRegistered = 1
AND wmr.CustomerID IS NULL
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM TableB AS x WHERE x.cid = c.CustomerID)[/code]
