I am trying to update a field on a record in a table. Here is the statement I created:

UPDATE pdata SET pvalue = ( SELECT pvalue
FROM pdata
WHERE pentrytime =1207022400 )
WHERE pentrytime =1175400000;

However, I get the following error:

|#1093 - You can't specify target table 'pdata' for update in FROM clause

What can I use to fix this?
