Re: SQL syntax appears correct but EXPLAIN does not work?

Yes, using a UNION makes perfect sense, except that I had modified the original UPDATE so I could use EXPLAIN. In the context of the UPDATE I cannot use the UNION because because the sub-select would contain the table being updated. See the first message in this thread for my original query.

Look slike I will have to use a temp table again.

Does your book cover the way the optimiser works Jay? If it does I cannot wait until it is on the shelves!

Regards,

David
