PG 8.4 Having trouble putting together an update query to update multiple columns in tbl1 from columns in tbl2. update tbl1 set col3,col4,col5 from (select col3, col4,col5 from tbl2 where col1="criteria") Can someone add to the Postgres Docs (shown below) to help me with this. UPDATE employees SET sales_count = sales_count + 1 WHERE id = (SELECT sales_person FROM accounts WHERE name = 'Acme Corporation'); Many thanks Bret Stern -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
