Do you have a trigger on that table? Maybe the syntax and the time delay is coming from the trigger.

I still get syntax error and process seems to hang with hour glass I have to

I am trying to update a table "Burials" with an ownerid field from another
table "Plotowners"
Both tables have a field "Plotloc" which is a computed field

update burials set ownerid=t2.ownerid from burials t1, plotowners t2 where
t1.plotloc = t2.plotloc

Thanks
