Let's say I have a table "A" with 25 columns. I also have an identical table "B" with 25 columns (column names, indexes, everything the same). I want to get the entry of column 2 of every row of table "B", and update column 2 of every row of table "A" WHERE the rowID from table "A" matches the rowID of table "B". Is there a way to do this in one fell swoop, rather than doing one at a time:
UPDATE tableA SET column2 = 'column2EntryFromRowXOfTableB' WHERE T2RowID = T1RowID; With 10,000+ rows to update, even scripted in a repeat loop, this seems quite tedious. In effect, I'm saying "Copy the column2 entry from one table to column2 of another table, as long as their row IDs match." Any ideas on a "batch-type" update?
