One bad thing about StackOverflow is that people make unnecessary edits to original questions just so they can get the editor badges, but these carless edits can make the already posted answers look odd or even nonsensical. Correct way to update a table while using table alias in SQL Server is: update t set t. Ankur Bhutani Ankur Bhutani 2, 3 3 gold badges 26 26 silver badges 25 25 bronze badges.
Nice, thank you. Your answer is the correct one for this question. Just because it's supported doesn't mean it's a good idea. Devart k 22 22 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.

Which is all kind of funny because literally 5 minutes after I posted this I happened upon some problematic non-deterministic updates in the sprocs I've inherited :- fun stuff — Shane Neuville.
That doesn't make merge better, it just means you have bad updates. Yea I was just being anecdotal :- I had this on the brain when I dived back into the sproc and it was the first thing I saw. CTEs are Standard; square brackets to escape silly names are not double quotes are. Show 1 more comment. I think, this is what you are looking for. Null Null 21 1 1 bronze badge.

If the object being updated is the same as the object in the FROM clause and there is only one reference to the object in the FROM clause, an object alias may or may not be specified. If the object being updated appears more than one time in the FROM clause, one, and only one, reference to the object must not specify a table alias.
All other references to the object in the FROM clause must include an object alias. In particular, filter or join conditions applied on the result of one of those calls have no effect on the results of the other. The update operation occurs at the current position of the cursor. The search condition can also be the condition upon which a join is based. There is no limit to the number of predicates that can be included in a search condition. A searched update modifies multiple rows when the search condition does not uniquely identify a single row.
The cursor must allow updates. Use caution when specifying the FROM clause to provide the criteria for the update operation. It is undefined which row from Table2 is to be used to update the row in Table1. Avoid using these hints in this context in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use them.
All char and nchar columns are right-padded to the defined length. These strings are truncated to an empty string. This can be configured in ODBC data sources or by setting connection attributes or properties. Modifying a text , ntext , or image column with UPDATE initializes the column, assigns a valid text pointer to it, and allocates at least one data page, unless the column is being updated with NULL. If the UPDATE statement could change more than one row while updating both the clustering key and one or more text , ntext , or image columns, the partial update to these columns is executed as a full replacement of the values.
Avoid using these data types in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use them. Use nvarchar max , varchar max , and varbinary max instead. Use the. WRITE expression , Offset , Length clause to perform a partial or full update of varchar max , nvarchar max , and varbinary max data types. For example, a partial update of a varchar max column might delete or modify only the first bytes of the column characters if using ASCII characters , whereas a full update would delete or modify all the data in the column.
WRITE updates that insert or append new data are minimally logged if the database recovery model is set to bulk-logged or simple. Minimal logging is not used when existing values are updated. You cannot use the. Offset and Length are specified in bytes for varbinary and varchar data types and in byte-pairs for the nvarchar data type. For best performance, we recommend that data be inserted or updated in chunk sizes that are multiples of bytes. If the column modified by the.
See example R that follows. To achieve the same functionality of. Supplying a value in a SQL Server system data type, as long as the user-defined type supports implicit or explicit conversion from that type.
The following example shows how to update a value in a column of user-defined type Point , by explicitly converting from a string. Invoking a method, marked as a mutator, of the user-defined type, to perform the update. The following example invokes a mutator method of type Point named SetXY. This updates the state of the instance of the type.
Cano -Leftware- Jhonny D. Cano -Leftware- Thank you Jhonny, have a nice weekend! Glad it worked. Your anwer only partially addressed his issue - the update syntax, but not the actual alteration of the values.
You can use aliases for the updated table as well and make a normal join i. GilM GilM 3, 16 16 silver badges 15 15 bronze badges. This should do what you want. You don't need a with here.

Specifies a temporary named result set, known as a common table expression CTE.
A common table expression can include references to itself. This is referred to as a recursive common table expression. Duplicate names within a single CTE definition are not allowed. The list of column names is optional only if distinct names for all resulting columns are supplied in the query definition.
The following guidelines apply to nonrecursive common table expressions. For guidelines that apply to recursive common table expressions, see Guidelines for Defining and Using Recursive Common Table Expressions that follows. Forward referencing is not allowed. When a CTE is used in a statement that is part of a batch, the statement before it must be followed by a semicolon. When executing a CTE, any hints that reference a CTE may conflict with other hints that are discovered when the CTE accesses its underlying tables, in the same manner as hints that reference views in queries.
When this occurs, the query returns an error. The recursive CTE definition must contain at least two CTE query definitions, an anchor member and a recursive member. Multiple anchor members and recursive members can be defined; however, all anchor member query definitions must be put before the first recursive member definition.
UNION ALL is the only set operator allowed between the last anchor member and first recursive member, and when combining multiple recursive members.
The data type of a column in the recursive member must be the same as the data type of the corresponding column in the anchor member.
