@Azadi and Leigh, the oracle syntax gives this on mysql: Error Code: 1093 You can't specify target table 'dfv1' for update in FROM clause.
Ended up with this for mysql: UPDATE MyTable t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN t2 ON t2.SomeColumn = t1.SomeColumn AND t2.SomeOtherColumn = t1.SomeOtherColumn AND t2.YetAnotherColumn = 42 SET Foo = 1 WHERE Bar = 99 AND t2.SomeColumn IS NULL Funky stuff.
