UPDATE a
SET a.surname = (Select top 1 tb_owner_email.email_surname FROM tb_owner_email where tb_owner_email.email_email = a.email)
FROM @item_table a

This brings up the message -
Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation.

Basically I am trying to update data in @item_table on an email address in tb_owner_email. There however might be multiple entries of the same email address in the tb_owner_email.

Cannot help but think I am trying to use the wrong method

1. FROM @item_table won't work without dynamic sql. So you're not showing the real statement?
2. error message on collation conflicts always shows mor information - where it is?


No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Try like this...

UPDATE a SET a.surname = e.email_surname from @item_table a
inner join tb_owner_email e on a.email=e.email_email
