Populate a new field in an existing table
Write a query to do an insert into that column for each row...
Update MyTable Set [Financial Year] = "2009-10" Where [Financial Year] IS NULL; By the way, I strongly advise against using any column name with an embedded space. -- Dorian "Give someone a fish and they eat for a day; teach someone to fish and they eat for a lifetime".

However, I am struggling of finding a way to instantly populate this field with the value "2009-10", without going into each row (I have three more tables to do this to with 30,000+ rows) Going forward it will be populated with all the other fields, but I just need to bring them all up to date first. Can anyone help out? Thanks for reading. DominicB |
