Hi,

I have an SQL database table, I want to find everything in a table where the 'Room' says 'DISPOSED', Insert 'DISPOSED' into the 'Status' field and then delete the entry in 'Room'.

Basically moving the entry from one field to another (if the 'Room' field has 'DISPOSED' in it)

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for any help.

Update table_name SET room='', Stauts='DISPOSED' where Room='DISPOSED'

OR

Update table_name SET room=null, Stauts='DISPOSED' where Room='DISPOSED'

Great. First one worked like a charm. Thanks

The SQL is

UPDATE table SET status = room, room = null WHERE room = 'DISPOSED'
