I'd like to populate #tbl_locations.Topo_Name with #USGS_24K_TOPOMAP_BOUNDARIES.Name. In other words, I trying to determine the name of the topo map that a point falls within, and programatically write that to the points table. Seems simple in theory, but tbl_locations contains thousands of points which could occur in one of 36 topo map polygon boundaries.
I've gotten this far
Select NAME, Loc_Name, Location_ID
From #USGS_24K_TOPOMAP_BOUNDARIES a, #TBL_LOCATIONS b
where a.Shape.STContains(b.Shape)=1
which returns a neat table that I can cross-walk back to tbl_locations through a join, but I'm stuck on getting this accomplished through a single query-update statement, and I have many similar point-polygon relationships that I'd like to automate this way (e.g what watershed, county, state, etc... the point occurs in). THanks!
