Hi , DBAs !
I've got a SQL question :
There is a table called COMPANY :

NAME ID MANAGER_ID PATH

AAA        5            2                /home/AAA
BBB        10          5                NULL

I want to perform something like :
update COMPANY b =20
set PATH =3D (select PATH from COMPANY a where b.MANAGER_ID =3D = a.ID)||'/BBB' where NAME=3D'BBB' ;

It should update the PATH column for BBB to be ' /home/AAA/BBB'

The query does not work this way . I recieve the error message : ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

Is there a way to do it ?

Thanks !

For statistics : i'm from Tel-Aviv , Israel .
