Running Postgres 7.1.3 on RedHat Linux 7.2.
I have a query where I only want to update one table
and set a column to null.
To figure out what records I need to update, I do
this:
[snip code]
--explain
select count (s.result)
--update
--only sys_results
--set s.result = null
from sys_results s, load_pp_results_ldl_fix_020502 l
where
l.contract::char = s.contract and
l.mbr_num::char = s.mbr_num and
l.type::char = s.type and
l.date = s.date and
s.type='LD' and
s.result='0' and
l.result='NR TRIG HI'
;
[/snip code]
When I change this code to 'update',
I find that the entire table has been updated /
changed to reflect null in the s.result column.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks!
