[dba-SQLServer]A real Newbie Queston re:updating a Field in a Table

I think I would like to go the Stored Procedure way as that is what I think
most programmers do.  What is the difference between the two?

You know, you dont really hav to create a stored procedure.  I am just so
used to doing that.  You could just put in the code in the query analyzer.
Sorry about that, I am programmed to create stored procedures.

This would be in a stored procedure.  
Create a new stored procedure such as:

create stored procedure gps_update as
update dbo.prospect
set dbo.prospect.udf12='myvalue'
FROM  dbo.prospect INNER JOIN
      dbo.customer ON dbo.prospect.cust_no = dbo.customer.cust_no

Then, from SQL server, go up to TOOLS.
Selected SQL query analyzer.

A new window opens.  Make sure that you select the correct database from the
drop down box.
Type:
exec gps_update

Then hit the green arrow to run the procedure.

Your stored procedure will run.

This is really going to show my ignorance.  Do you put the sql code in a new
view?  If not, where?

Here is an example - I have a prospect and a customer table.  Join them by
their common field, cust_no.
Update the field you want to update (I used udf12) to the desired value.


update dbo.prospect
set dbo.prospect.udf12='myvalue'
FROM  dbo.prospect INNER JOIN
      dbo.customer ON dbo.prospect.cust_no = dbo.customer.cust_no

I have two tables which are inner joined on two fields.  One of the tables
contains a flag field.  I want to update the flag field only where records
in the two tables are the same.
