Hi everybody,

I have two tables, Stock and Stockitemlist, am trying to update Itemcost in stockItemlist from Stock with the below query,

Update StockItemList set ItemCost =(select ItemCost ItemCost from Stock where ItemMasterUID in (select ItemMasterUID from StockItemList))

but am getting an error messsage like :

Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
The statement has been terminated.

Can any body please tell me how to update,

Please execute the query

select ItemCost ItemCost from Stock where ItemMasterUID in (select ItemMasterUID from StockItemList).

This query will return more than one row. As a result you cannot use the update statement with this sub query.
