Dear all
I have a table called "Trans" two columns called ID and A.
I have another table called "R" with two columns called "ID" and "B".
the IDs are the same.
I want to write a query which checks the content of each cell of Column A from table "Trans" and then if the number in it is more than 0 update The corresponding cell ofColumn "B" in table " R" with "1".
I'd appreciate it if you help me with this matter.

Regards

Ali

just a simple join will do


UPDATE r
SET r.B=CASE WHEN t.A>0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
FROM R r
JOIN Trans t
ON t.ID=r.ID
