I have a very basic UPDATE SQL - UPDATE HOLD TABLE Q SET Q TITLE TEST WHERE Q ID 101 This query runs fine in Oracle Derby MySQL - but it fails in SQL server 2008 with following error Msg 102 Level 15 State 1 Line 1 Incorrect syntax near Q If I remove all occurrences of the alias Q from SQL then it works But I need to use the alias

You can always take the CTE Common Tabular Expression approach WITH updateCTE AS SELECT ID TITLE FROM HOLD TABLE WHERE ID 101 UPDATE updateCTE SET TITLE TEST

[sql] How to write UPDATE SQL with Table alias in SQL Server 2008?

The syntax for using an alias in an update statement on SQL Server is as follows:

UPDATE Q
SET Q.TITLE = 'TEST'
FROM HOLD_TABLE Q
WHERE Q.ID = 101;

The alias should not be necessary here though.
