Update Question

[mark1110]

I am updating a table and I am not sure update it based on a condition.

I want to update from table1 to table2. Table1 has a field called term, it is either a Y or N. Table1 also has a term_date field. Table2 has two date fields, term1 and term2. I want to update term1 or term 2 on table2 with term_date from table1 based on whether term is a Y or N.

if term = Y
update term1 with term_date
end if

if term = N
update term2 with term_date
end if

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. Can anyone help?


Thanks,

Mark

update syntax varies from dbms to dbms

an ANSI SQL solution is probably not the easiest way to solve this

what dbms are you using?
