Hi.
I have a problem with update query. Here is the query.
update table
set column = 'xxx'
where column = 'xxxxxxx'
The problem is, the column i used in set statement is a derived column and does not exist in table. The column is substring of an existing big column. Moreover SPUFI is not retrieving the whole column since the data is too big. Update query is not able to update a dervied column as shown above.
The error thrown is -206. Can someone help ?
Thanks
Prabhakar.

Hi Prabhakar,
I dont think we can update a derived column directly in DB2. Instead we need to update base column from which the new column is derived.
For example a column ANNUAL_SALRY is derived from a base column salary as SAL*12.
Then if we modify the ANNUAL_SALARY it will not effect on base column SAL infact it will not allow.
So the solution is to modify the base column SAL directly.
Thanks,
Reddy
