I'm trying to update a field in the database to the sum of its joined values:
UPDATE P
SET extrasPrice = SUM(E.price)
FROM dbo.BookingPitchExtras AS E
INNER JOIN dbo.BookingPitches AS P ON E.pitchID = P.ID
AND P.bookingID = 1
WHERE E.[required] = 1
When I run this I get the following error:
"An aggregate may not appear in the set list of an UPDATE statement."
Any ideas?
How about this:
UPDATE p
SET p.extrasPrice = t.sumPrice
FROM BookingPitches AS p
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT PitchID, SUM(Price) sumPrice
FROM BookingPitchExtras
WHERE [required] = 1
GROUP BY PitchID
) t
ON t.PitchID = p.ID
WHERE p.bookingID = 1
An alternate to the above solutions is using Aliases for Tables:
UPDATE T1 SET T1.extrasPrice = (SELECT SUM(T2.Price) FROM BookingPitchExtras T2 WHERE T2.pitchID = T1.ID)
FROM BookingPitches T1;
This is a valid error. See this. Following (and others suggested below) are the ways to achieve this:-
UPDATE P
SET extrasPrice = t.TotalPrice
FROM BookingPitches AS P INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
PitchID,
SUM(Price) TotalPrice
FROM
BookingPitchExtras
GROUP BY PitchID
) t
ON t.PitchID = p.ID
I ran into the same issue and found that I could solve it with a Common Table Expression (available in SQL 2005 or later):
;with cte as (
SELECT PitchID, SUM(Price) somePrice
FROM BookingPitchExtras
WHERE [required] = 1
GROUP BY PitchID)
UPDATE p SET p.extrasPrice=cte.SomePrice
FROM BookingPitches p INNER JOIN cte ON p.ID=cte.PitchID
WHERE p.BookingID=1
With postgres, I had to adjust the solution with this to work for me:
UPDATE BookingPitches AS p
SET extrasPrice = t.sumPrice
FROM
(
SELECT PitchID, SUM(Price) sumPrice
FROM BookingPitchExtras
WHERE [required] = 1
GROUP BY PitchID
) t
WHERE t.PitchID = p.ID AND p.bookingID = 1
Use a sub query similar to the below.
UPDATE P
SET extrasPrice = sub.TotalPrice from
BookingPitches p
inner join
(Select PitchID, Sum(Price) TotalPrice
from dbo.BookingPitchExtras
Where [Required] = 1
Group by Pitchid
) as Sub
on p.Id = e.PitchId
where p.BookingId = 1
You need something like this :
UPDATE P
SET ExtrasPrice = E.TotalPrice
FROM dbo.BookingPitches AS P
INNER JOIN (SELECT BPE.PitchID, Sum(BPE.Price) AS TotalPrice
FROM BookingPitchExtras AS BPE
WHERE BPE.[Required] = 1
GROUP BY BPE.PitchID) AS E ON P.ID = E.PitchID
WHERE P.BookingID = 1
