Re: SAP HANA SQL Update on large table

Hi Lars,

In service pack 8, I'm getting an error with the Update Top approach.  It says incorrect syntax near top.  Is this a new feature of SAP Hana?

My syntax is like this:

UPDATE TOP 100000 "myschema"."myTable"  A

SET PLANT =

(

SELECT B.SUPP_PLANT

FROM PUBLIC.Some_synonym B

WHERE

  A.SHIP_TO_ID = B.SHIP_TO

AND A.MATERIAL_ID = B.MATERIAL

AND A.SALES_DATE = B."/BIC/ZDM_DATE"

)

WHERE A.PLANT IS NULL;

ERROR: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "TOP": line 1 col 8 (at pos 8)

I have no issue running this wide open without TOP, just trying to get faster speed by updating fewer rows with a loop.

I can easily SELECT TOP with no error.  Just UPDATE TOP will not go.

Thanks.
