Mark's suggestion worked great when I ran it on a simple test, but I'm
having problems applying this methodology to my real (more complex)
application. I get the following error when running the script from
Query Analyzer:

Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider
'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the
specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'
ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].

Note that both databases reside on the same server and I checked
Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) to make sure that it's
running. What else about this kind of distributed UPDATE statement
would cause such an error?
