Hello everybody

Since I've just begun working with SS 2000(yes, 2000) I got a question about UPDATE statement.

I come from Linux/MySQL world and this is possible in MySQL:

update emp inner join dept on emp.deptno=dept.deptno
set emp.comm=320
where dept.loc='CHICAGO' and emp.sal=1600

My QA was complaining about this piece of SQL.
How can I solve this one?

Kind regards
A.H.

update e
set comm = 320
from emp e
inner join dept d
on e.deptno = d.deptno
where d.loc = 'CHICAGO' and e.sal = 1600

This type of syntax is available in ACCESS. But in sql server use the method Tara suggested
