| HiI need to iterate through a datbase table and copy one column value to another column in the same table. How do I do that, I thought that it would be easy but I get an invalid column name error on "VisitingAddressINT"UPDATE dbo.[User] SET VisitingAddressINT = VisitingAddress1INT WHERE VisitingAddress1INT <> '' |
