                                            | hello,I am trying to update a field from a list of items:update OITM set PicturName = (select DANA from dbo.test) where ItemCode in (select itemcode from dbo.test)the ERROR I get:Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.The statement has been terminated.I understand the problem, but I don't know how to solve it.I would like that every itemcode from TEST will get the FIELD DANA.THANKSORI |
