I have a script that uses a stack of with clauses to come up with some result, and then I want to write that result in a table. I just can\'t get my head around it, could so
If anyone comes here after me, this is the answer that worked for me.
NOTE: please make to read the comments before using this, this not complete. The best advice for update queries I can give is to switch to SqlServer ;)
update mytable t
set z = (
with comp as (
select b.*, 42 as computed
from mytable t
where bs_id = 1
)
select c.computed
from comp c
where c.id = t.id
)
Good luck,
