SQL update from one Table to another based on a ID match
I have a database with account numbers
and card numbers
. I match these to a file to update
any card numbers to the account number, so that I am only working with account numbers.
I created a view linking the table to the account/card database to return the Table ID
and the related account number, and now I need to update those records where the ID matches with the Account Number.
This is the Sales_Import
table, where the account number
field needs to be updated:
LeadID AccountNumber
147 5807811235
150 5807811326
185 7006100100007267039
And this is the RetrieveAccountNumber
table, where I need to update from:
LeadID AccountNumber
147 7006100100007266957
150 7006100100007267039
I tried the below, but no luck so far:
UPDATE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import]
SET [AccountNumber] = (SELECT RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import]. LeadID =
RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID)
It updates the card numbers to account numbers, but the account numbers gets replaced by NULL
