| hi i was wondering if there was a way to update a field as an addition and not as a replace, eg:update table set field1 = 'static text' + field1this can easily be done with cursors but i think it would be faster if I didn't use them |

| yes you had the right syntax. Make sure there is a WHERE clause if you did not want to update the entire table.Dinakar Nethi************************Life is short. Enjoy it.************************http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/dinakar/ |
