Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the reply. What I'm trying to accomplish is this:
While I didn't create primary key/foreign key relationships in the
example, my real life use case has them.
Given that test_a.id is a primary key and test_ab.aid is a foreign key
pointing to test_a.id,
I want to update the two rows in test_ab that point to the test_a row
where test_a = 11

It's possible to write a merge or insert/join type of query on both
oracle and sql server to do this, but I haven't been able to figure
out
how to write a query in H2 to accomplish the same thing.

something like
update test_ab set test_ab.ab = test_ab.ab + 2000  from
test_a,test_ab  where test_ab.aid = test_a.id and test_a.a=11

Is it possible?

thanks
Randy
