if you are starting to have questions like this, then you may need to rethink your database structure. if you rely on an external function tor special sql update sequence to get what you want, you will have soon a problem, where the data is not consistent. what for example, if you need to delete or duplicate the selected row? then you will have 0 or 2 true. you probably need a new table leadguitarrist with the fields band and musicianid.

That's about what I'd have thought (although I had a "role" table) but any person could hold any role

Roles were settings like author, lead singer, lead guitarist, producer, engineer, etc

And, in some cases we even had the same person as several roles on the same track (Paul McCartney does this a lot) We did not add the same person as any role twice (although some tracks do have the same person playing two lead guitars and it's been multitracked)

Very odd stuff indeed
