Syntax Error Updating SQL Server Table
The following SQL statement works great in Access, but not in SQL Server:
UPDATE inv_decrement INNER JOIN inv_test2 ON inv_decrement.itemnumber=inv_test2.itemnumber
SET inv_test2.inventoryavailable = (inv_test2.inventoryavailable-inv_decrement.inventoryavailable);
(SQL Server Error: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INNER' )
In both the Access and SQL Server databases, I created two identically structured
tables with a primary key on .itemnumber. When I run the above statement
in Access, the records in inv_test2 are updated properly with the corresponding
records in inv_decrement (decrements inventory counts). In SQL Server, I
get a syntax error.
Any ideas? Is UPDATE a valid SQL Server keyword?
Thanks!
