How to write UPDATE SQL with Table alias in SQL Server 2008?
The syntax for using an alias in an update statement on SQL Server is as follows:
UPDATE QSET Q.TITLE = 'TEST'FROM HOLD_TABLE QWHERE Q.ID = 101;The alias should not be necessary here though.
You can always take the CTE, (Common Tabular Expression), approach.
;WITH updateCTE AS( SELECT ID, TITLE FROM HOLD_TABLE WHERE ID = 101)UPDATE updateCTESET TITLE = 'TEST';
