[fuzzy1]

Okay,

3 joined updates same format, first 2 work last one doesn't can't for the life of me figure out why.

1.This worksUPDATE contacts, campaign_log
SET contacts.invalid_email=1
WHERE contacts.id=campaign_log.target_id
AND campaign_log.activity_type="invalid email"2.This worksUPDATE campaign_log, contacts
SET campaign_log.deleted=1
WHERE contacts.id=campaign_log.target_id
AND contacts.agency_name="FSBO"
3.This only returns an empty setUPDATE campaign_log, emails
SET campaign_log.activity_type="invalid email"
WHERE campaign_log.related_id = emails.id
AND emails.description_html = "X"While this WorksUPDATE campaign_log, emails
SET campaign_log.activity_type="invalid email"
WHERE campaign_log.related_id = emails.id
And this worksSELECT*FROM emails
WHERE emails.description_html = "X"
So what gives???

Hi,

The first answer that springs to my mind is, does the following query return a value of zero?


SELECT count(0) from campaign_log, emails
WHERE campaign_log.related_id = emails.id
AND emails.description_html = "X";


If so, then that's the problem.

Of course 149 qualifying records DID exist in campaign_log.
Let the be a lesson to me!!! Tired? Eyes Burning? Drooling????
