    Thanks for your reply. :-D :-D Can we do the same thing without taking join. I mean can we use IN clause for multiple columns?

      Hi Everyone, I am having one table which contains 5 columns. These five columns together contitute the primary key. I am having one more table which contains data for these primary key. I need to write a query which will bring the data from the second table for those primary keys which are available in first table. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

      select FirstTable.*,SecondTable.* from FirstTable,SecondTable where SecondTable.FirstTableColumn in (FirstTable.FirstColumn)

        Sorry to confuse you. Let me explain you complete scenario. I am having two databases DB1 and DB2. DB1 has single table T1 and 15 columns namely C1, C2, C3 etc. DB2 has two table T1 and T2. T1 table is identical in both the databases. So T1 table has same 15 columns and same data in both the databases. T2 has 5 columns C1, C2, C3, C4,C5 which together constitute primary key. In T1 table of DB1 database, some of the records are modified. T2 table of database DB2 has the primary keys of all the modified records. I need to update table T1 of database DB2 for the modified records. I need a way to accomplish this. Hopefully I am clear now.

          I got it now. This seems a difficult issue. I suggest you to create some trigger on db1.T1 that updates the modified rows in db2. If you still want to use some batch update, the most inappropriate way will be to use a cursor loop. But wait, lets hope someone else in the forum finds a more efficient way. Good luck.

            You have to create any trigger or you can make changes on T1 of DB2 something like query down below which you execute that both querys at same time: Update DB1.dbo.T1 set DB1.dbo.T1.column='value' where DB1.dbo.T1.colname ='conditionvaue' Update DB2.dbo.T1 set DB2.dbo.T1.column='value' where DB2.dbo.T1.colname ='conditionvaue'

              Perhaps an inner join in the update?

              UPDATE T1
              SET ...
              FROM T1
              INNER JOIN T2
              ON T1.blah=T2.blah
              AND ...

                    I mean the proces will happen every night for the data that changed during day time.

                      Shouldn't be a problem then. I always try to have the database engine do most of the work.
