In this last line of the query, we chose the manipulation method for the matched rows. Finally, we added the semicolon ; sign because the MERGE statements must end with the semicolon signs. The major characteristic of the subquery is, they can only be executed with the external query. The noticeable difference in this method is, it might be a convenient way to update one column for the tables that have a small number of the rows.
Now we will execute the following query and then will analyze it. After the execution of the update from a select statement the output of the table will be as below;. As we can see, the PersonCityName column data of the Persons table have been updated with the City column data of the AddressList table for the matched records for the PersonId column.
Regarding this method, we should underline the following significant points. If the subquery finds more than one matched row, the update query will return an error, as shown below:.
In this article, we learned to update the data in a table with the data where they are contained in other tables. PersonId INT. PersonName , PersonLastName. N 'Salvador' , N 'Williams' ,. N 'Lawrence' , N 'Brown' ,. N 'Gilbert' , N 'Jones' ,. N 'Ernest' , N 'Smith' ,. N 'Jorge' , N 'Johnson'. PersonId , PostCode , City. City ,. AddressList Addr. ON Per. ON Addr. PostCode ,. If an update to a column or columns participating in a clustered index causes the size of the clustered index and the row to exceed 8, bytes, the update fails and an error message is returned.
UPDATE statements are allowed in the body of user-defined functions only if the table being modified is a table variable. Without this relationship, the query plan may produce unexpected join behavior and unintended query results. The following examples demonstrate correct and incorrect methods of specifying a CTE when the CTE is the target object of the update operation. To avoid these higher level locks, consider dividing update statements that affect thousands of rows or more into batches, and ensure that any join and filter conditions are supported by indexes.
WRITE clause are minimally logged. Examples in this section demonstrate the basic functionality of the UPDATE statement using the minimum required syntax. The following example updates a single column for all rows in the Person. Address table. Examples in this section demonstrate ways that you can use to limit the number of rows affected by the UPDATE statement.
The statement updates the value in the Color column of the Production. Product table for all rows that have an existing value of 'Red' in the Color column and have a value in the Name column that starts with 'Road'. The following example updates the VacationHours column by 25 percent for 10 random rows in the Employee table. The following example updates the vacation hours of the 10 employees with the earliest hire dates. The following example updates the PerAssemblyQty value for all parts and components that are used directly or indirectly to create the ProductAssemblyID The common table expression returns a hierarchical list of parts that are used directly to build ProductAssemblyID and parts that are used to build those components, and so on.
Only the rows returned by the common table expression are modified. Other tables participating in the cursor are not affected. The example doubles the value in the ListPrice column for all rows in the Product table.
The following example uses the variable NewPrice to increment the price of all red bicycles by taking the current price and adding 10 to it. The following example uses a subquery in the SET clause to determine the value that is used to update the column. The subquery must return only a scalar value that is, a single value per row. The following example sets the CostRate column to its default value 0. Examples in this section demonstrate how to update rows by specifying a view, table alias, or table variable.
The following example updates rows in a table by specifying a view as the target object. The view definition references multiple tables, however, the UPDATE statement succeeds because it references columns from only one of the underlying tables. For more information, see Modify Data Through a View. The follow example updates rows in the table Production.
Examples in this section demonstrate methods of updating rows from one table based on information in another table. The previous example assumes that only one sale is recorded for a specified salesperson on a specific date and that updates are current. If more than one sale for a specified salesperson can be recorded on the same day, the example shown does not work correctly. The example runs without error, but each SalesYTD value is updated with only one sale, regardless of how many sales actually occurred on that day.
In the situation in which more than one sale for a specified salesperson can occur on the same day, all the sales for each sales person must be aggregated together within the UPDATE statement, as shown in the following example:. Examples in this section demonstrate how to update rows in a remote target table by using a linked server or a rowset function to reference the remote table. The following example updates a table on a remote server. The linked server name, MyLinkedServer , is then specified as part of the four-part object name in the form server.
Note that you must specify a valid server name for datasrc. The linked server name created in the previous example is used in this example. For more information, see ad hoc distributed queries Server Configuration Option. Examples in this section demonstrate methods of updating values in columns that are defined with large object LOB data types.
The following example uses the. Document table. The word components is replaced with the word features by specifying the replacement word, the starting location offset of the word to be replaced in the existing data, and the number of characters to be replaced length.
The following examples add and remove data from an nvarchar max column that has a value currently set to NULL. Because the. This data is then replaced with the correct data by using the. WRITE clause. Show 6 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. I'm using your third option and it works great.

Vladimir Baranov Vladimir Baranov Black, If I had, say, 30K rows to update, I'd call the stored procedure three times and pass 10K IDs to it during each call in the table-valued parameter. Actually, nowadays with modern hardware and networks I'd start bothering with batches maybe after K or more.

IT's not entirely clear. But in that case, I still think this is the best route. I don't know C , so here is some untested Perl pseudocode: Oh, I guess I have to put that in a answer.
