Salut comrades,
I have to make a complicated updated to a temporary table, which will be nourished with data from around 5 tables.(db= Sybase 12.5)

whatever i've tried, get always errors warning about Incorrect syntax near '('. seems that I MUST update the columns one by one.. is it so?
regards,

It seems that a simultaneous multiple column update to a table is not possible. Instead one by one....
create index ...... with ignore_dup_key is also very helpful.. to insert new rows without thinking of duplications, they are ignored implicitly.
This was helpful in my problem.
