I am not a SQL guy and there is no one here to help. I have a database call bis2. I need to update a table.
If I do:
Select * from dbo.Hardware where HardwareId='14518';
I get
HardwareID HardwareName HardwareTypeID Brand ModelNo SerialNumber
1 14518 Notebook 5 Dell Dell Latitude 3490 CWJ11111

For HardwareID 14519 its empty and I need to fill this in. How Do I do that? I would guess with Update but not sure the syntax.

Thanks

Since you're not a SQL guy, and it sounds like this is a "one off". The easiest way is to open SQL Server Management Studio, find the table you need, right click and edit.
