You may only UPDATE one table at a time, you can't update a JOIN. So when
selecting from another table to filter or calculate your update, the form is:
UPDATE orderchanges
SET orderchargesbilled = {expression}
FROM orders
WHERE orders.orderid = ordercharges.orderidAND etc.
Second, your value expression for the update is a subselect which includes a
select on the table and field you are updating! This is a recursive loop and
a very bad idea; gods only know what you'll end up with.
I suggest Joe Conway's "SQL for Smarties" or "SQL Queries for Mere Mortals"
from another author.
