sorry for the ot-ish post.

i've got a repairs table and a price master table. each has millions of
rows. i'm trying to optimize the query below. i think the best way would be
to use an update statement with a join but i can't remember the syntax. any
thoughts?

UPDATE Repair_Order_Lines l ,
priceMaster p
SET l.IsOEM = 1
WHERE l.IsOEM = 0
AND
(
l.PartNumber = p.PartNumber
OR l.PartNumber = p.PrecedentPartNumber
)

essentially, if a repair line has a part number in the price master table,
it is considered an OEM part. both the PartNumber columns and the
PrecedentPartNumber column are VARCHAR(50). priceMaster is indexed on both.

tia,

me
