Updating a table using Common Table Expression

It is possible to update a table but only the rows returned by the common table expression are modified.

In the Employees table we consider two employees, 'Andrew Fuller' who lives in the city 'Tacoma' and Steven Buchanan who lives in 'London'. Note that the CTE definition has a filter for City='London'

This update query tries to change the LastName to 'Bardick' of an employee whose  FirstName='Andrew'
------------------
USE Northwind
Go
---define the common table expression
WITH EMp_CTE (FirstName,LastName,CITY)  /*Name: EMp_CTE, Column List:FirstName, --LastName,City*/
AS
---define the CTE query

(SELECT FirstName,LastName,City

from Employees

where City='London'
)
---Updating the table
Update EMp_CTE
Set LastName='Bardick'
Where FirstName='Andrew' 
Go
-----
--Andrew Fuller is from Seattle
--expect Andrew Fuller to become Andrew Bardick if the query were to succeed
--Since Andrew Fuller is not from London the table does not get updated
The above query returns '0' rows Table is not modified
-------------------
Now consider this next update query:

USE Northwind
Go
---define the common table expression
WITH EMp_CTE (FirstName,LastName,CITY)  /*Name: EMp_CTE, Column List:FirstName, --LastName,City*/
AS

---define the CTE query

(SELECT FirstName,LastName,City

from Employees

where City='London'
)
---Updating the table

Update EMp_CTE
Set LastName='Bardick'
Where FirstName='Steven' 
Go
--------------------------------------
--The response is 1 row gets updated.
--Steven Buchanan is from London                         
--expect Steven Buchanan to become Steven Buchanan if the query succeeds
--Since Steven Buchanan is from 'London' update will take place and it becomes Steven Bardick as --shown.

The syntax for the CTE can be found here:

Download SQL Server 2016 Developer here or Visit Virtual Labs

In my previous post, I had mentioned that SQL Server 2016 Developer will be available at the end of year. However, SQL Server Developer 2016 is available at this site here beginning 5/31/2016 .

You can download x64 bit version for English language here;
https://myprodscussu1.app.vssubscriptions.visualstudio.com/Downloads?PId=2057

 Here is a picture of the download site page:

It is possible for me to download as I have a couple of Microsoft Products already for which I have subscribed like, Office 365 and Microsoft Azure. I have registered fro many other Microsoft Products over the years.

This is the file you would be downloading:

It is 2 GB and it can take quite sometime to download to your computer.

I also heard that MSDN subscribers can get immediate access to new Microsoft Products which are free.

In any case you would like to download access the link at the top.

Even if you do not download you can still train in SQL Server 2016 here at the Microsoft Virtual Labs for free.

For installation details go here.

Great News! SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition is a free

Great News! SQL Server Developer 2014 Edition is a free download for members who use Visual Studio Dev Essentials. This means before you download SQL Server 2016 Developer you will be prompted to sign in to the Essentials.

SQL Server 2016 Developer is not for production. Use it to test and develop only.

Why would you need Visual Studio Dev Essentials?

This is a comprehensive developer program which is free. You have everything for your app to build and deploy. Deploy on any platform. It has tools for cloud, training and support. Microsoft has bundled quite a lot of stuff in this, could be somewhat overwhelming if you are new to Microsoft product range.

These are the things you can do with it.

Start your journey here.
