> Is there a way I could use LIMIT in an update? No, but if your table has a single-column primary key, called PK for example, you can get the same result with
update Address set Retrieved = 1 where PK in (select PK from Address where Group = 'a' limit 5) If your primary key contains more than one column, you can run the select first and use the results to compose an update statement in your host language -- or you can use RowID as a surrogate for PK in the first case (but then your code won't be portable to any other dbms).
