Hi
FB> select * from contact where email ~* 'rvro';
FB> if I get a single row in the result then I enter:
FB> update contact set bounce=1 where email ~* 'rvro';
FB> Can I combine this into a single SQL statement with the following
FB> requirements:
FB> 1) the update is only performed if a single row is selected
FB> 2) I only enter the selection string ('rvro' in this case) once in the

Assume that pk is PRIMARY KEY (or UNIQUE attribute) of relation contact.
UPDATE contact SET bounce = 1 WHERE email ~* 'rvro' AND NOT email IN(SELECT c1.email FROM contact c1, contact c2 WHERE
c1.pk!= c2.pk AND c1.email = c2.email);
