Hi !

I have a block in my form based on ch_pwd
Table name:ch_pwd block:ch_pwd
 
employeeid,old_password,new_password,confirm_new_password
 
Table name:emp_login
employeeid,password


In block ch_pwd, i have placed 2 buttons, one for save and other for update..

After the clicking save, i would click update to update the records saved in this table to another table(emp_login)..

I used the coding
Table Name:ch_pwd,emp_login
 
UPDATE emp_login A
SET password = (SELECT new_password FROM ch_pwd WHERE EMPLOYEEID = A.EMPLOYEEID);



and also tried with
UPDATE emp_login
        SET password = ( SELECT password
                    FROM ch_pwd
                    WHERE emp_login.employeeid = ch_pwd.employeeid)
               
               WHERE EXISTS
          ( SELECT password
                    FROM ch_pwd
                    WHERE emp_login.employeeid = ch_pwd.employeeid);



Both didnt work .. the data is not getting updated..

Pls help to overcome this..

Thanks and Regards
anu

You "forgot" to join table columns with forms data block columns; something like
UPDATE emp_login A SET 
  password = (SELECT new_password FROM ch_pwd WHERE EMPLOYEEID = :your_data_block.EMPLOYEEID)
  where employeeid = :your_data_block.employeeid;

However, you might probably do that as
update emp_login set
  password = :your_data_block.new_password
  where employeeid = :your_data_block.employeeid;

All the records? In that case, I'm afraid that you didn't look carefully enough into my example - your UPDATE misses the WHERE condition which tell Oracle to update exactly one record - the one that belongs to that particular employee:
UPDATE ...
SET ...
where employeeid = :your_data_block.employeeid;   --> you are missing this line


By the way, saying that "it does not work" isn't very descriptive. Why didn't you post your current UPDATE statement? Without it, all we can do is guess.
