hello,
again fiddling around with SQL...
wanted to loop over the Base search for Strings beginning with a
sequence and replace that sequence with another one.....
tryed the following:
update journal set description='Add '||(select id description from
journal subq where subq.description like '%PSF%').description where id=
subq.id;
but evidently it didn't parsed :D
so the questions are:
can i make somehow a subquery and reuse the colums ? the system tryed
above doesnt seem satisfying .....
is there a way to achieve above functionality, or do i have to write a
frontend to make this?
in fact what i want to do using perl syntax:
$temp="Add ".$1 if /(PSF.*)$/;
