RE: SQL Help - update query with two tables

BTW I am trying something like
UPDATE "A" INNER JOIN "B"
ON "A"."ACCOUNT_ID" = "B"."ACCOUNT_ID"
SET "A"."CURRENT_BALANCE" = "A"."CURRENT_BALANCE"+ "B"."ACCOUNT_ID";

but it is not working

Subject: SQL Help - update query with two tables


I have not done SQL by hand since sometime in 2005/2006 and I can not
remember how to do a dynamic update using more then one table.

Let us say I have a table A and a table B and I want to update a record
in table A for every record in table b base on information in table B.
For example, let us say I want A.CURRENT_BALANCE to be set to
A.CURRENT_BALANCE + B.DEPOSIT where A.ACCOUNT_ID = B.ACCOUNT_ID.

Thoughts?
