[dba-SQLServer]Update sproc

Mark,
   You can't just copy and paste Access code over to SqlServer.  From the QA
(Query Analyzer) you can select the keyword UPDATE and then just hit the key
combo Shift + F1 and help will automatically be brought up for the proper
syntax of how to use UPDATE in Books Online (BOL).  I've taken the liberty
to massage your sql statment, here is what I came up with, also note that
Now() is an Access function not a Sql Server one thus it won't work, you can
try using the GetDate() wich generates the date you want but not the serial
number.  Also INT() is not a valid vunction in Sql Server... I hope this
sets you in the right direction...

UPDATE tblCheckRequest
SET tblCharges.PaidCode = 'CP', tblCharges.PaidDate = GetDate()
FROM tblCheckRequest
INNER JOIN tblCharges
ON (tblCheckRequest.ClaimNo = tblCharges.ClaimNo)
AND (tblCheckRequest.EndServDate = tblCharges.EndServDate)
AND (tblCheckRequest.CPT = tblCharges.CPT)
AND (tblCheckRequest.DupCode = tblCharges.DupCode)
AND (tblCheckRequest.ProvNo = tblCharges.ProvNo)
AND (tblCheckRequest.PatientNo = tblCharges.PatientNo)

Subject: [dba-SQLServer]Update sproc


: I am trying to create a sproc in SQL2K that will update records.
:
: I have the following code:
:
:
:
: UPDATE tblCheckRequest
:
: INNER JOIN tblCharges ON (tblCheckRequest.ClaimNo = tblCharges.ClaimNo)
: AND (tblCheckRequest.EndServDate = tblCharges.EndServDate) AND
: (tblCheckRequest.CPT = tblCharges.CPT) AND (tblCheckRequest.DupCode =
: tblCharges.DupCode) AND (tblCheckRequest.ProvNo = tblCharges.ProvNo) AND
: (tblCheckRequest.PatientNo = tblCharges.PatientNo)
:
: SET tblCharges.PaidCode = 'CP', tblCharges.PaidDate = Int(Now());
:
:
:
: When running this code, I receive the following message:
:
: "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INNER'".
:
: Should I not be using 'INNER JOIN ..'?
:
: Very confused.
:
:
:
: Any help is greatly appreciated.
