column as variable with sql update

Jul 19th, 2008

Hi,
I'm struggling to update my table with columns that are identified through variables. For example, I want to update Day3 using the hidden field "NewDay." Eventually, all of my days will be set using hidden field variable. Right now the trouble seems to be the statement %s=%s. Any suggests how to make the column defined by a variable. Thank you in advance. -Dave

Re: column as variable with sql update

Jul 19th, 2008

Use a regular variable like you would anywhere else. you can't use an expression like that in a sql statement. If it needs to be set to some starting value, do that above the sql statement then just use the variable in the statement.
