according to my texts this should work...


update dbo.occurrence.historical
set historical=1
where
(SELECT dbo.occurrence_data.Start_Date, dbo.occurrence_data.Occurrence_ID
FROM         dbo.occurrence_data INNER JOIN
                      dbo.OCCURRENCE ON dbo.occurrence_data.Occurrence_ID = dbo.OCCURRENCE.Occurrence_ID
WHERE     (dbo.occurrence_data.Start_Date < DATEADD(d, - 366, GETDATE())))

but doesn't....AARRRGH

When i'm right, no one remembers, when i'm wrong no one forgets.

Close, how about this?


update dbo.occurrence.historical
set historical=1
FROM  dbo.OCCURRENCE INNER JOIN dbo.occurrence_data 
                       ON dbo.OCCURRENCE.Occurrence_ID = dbo.occurrence_data.Occurrence_ID 
WHERE     (dbo.occurrence_data.Start_Date < DATEADD(d, - 366, GETDATE()))
