Sir I have a proble with updating table with another table. Suppose Emp and Emp1 are two tables with same columns and emp1 have 90% rows of emp. During the updating process emp1 e_name of some records were lost. Thus updating emp1 with emp table where e_code is same. This makes error. I have given command as

update emp1 set e_name=emp.e_name where emp1.e_name is null and emp1.e_code=emp.e_code;

This reports invalid column name.

please suggest me to update the emp1 table where e_name is null with emp table e_name.

Thanking you Sir.

Pls try this statement for updation.

update emp1 e1 set e1.ename = (select e2.ename from emp e2 where
e2.empno=e1.empno) where e1.ename is null
