Hi,
You can use REPLACE...SELECT
Not in the case described below. You cannot replace into the same
table from which you're selecting.

Subject: SELECT and UPDATE at the same time?
Hello again,
I'm selecting a group of records from my database. I then loop through the
selected records and do some work based on what I find. But what I also
want to do as I interrogate each record is update some of its fields with
new values... but won't that screw up the outer loop? I mean if I try to
execute a query whilst looping around the result set of a former query
will
I not screw up my result set that I'm looping through?
Also, is it possible to update specific fields of certain records within a
SELECT query? ie can I do something like this:
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE Age > 50 AND UPDATE Status = "OLD"
Ta,
