I have the following self-join update:
 
            update TABLE set PARENT_ID=parent.PARENT_ID
            from TABLE, TABLE parent
            where TABLE.PARENT_ID=parent.ID
            and parent.ID in (1,2,3,4)
This query is use to update a hierarchy before deleting specific records...
 
I get the following error:
 
    Table name "table" specified more than once
 
This appears to be a limitation of the update syntax which is not documented...
 
Is this something that will be fixed soon? or should I write this query differently?
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks for your help.
