The following query appears to work correctly in SQL server, the only
problem (and it is a major problem) is that it sets the value of the
stock field to null on every record except the one that it is reducing.
Any ideas?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE Products
SET Products.Stock = Products.Stock -
(
select sum(OrdersProducts.Quantity)
from OrdersProducts
where ordersproducts.ProductID=products.ProductID and
ordersproducts.orderid = 63116 group by ordersproducts.ProductID
)
FROM Products
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
