Hi Pete,
>> I need to update the Oracle view (Column UPLD to a 'Y' so the records fall out)
Do you mean to say that you need to update a table row using a view?
Not all views can be used for updating.

Please read:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_00904_stri..._identifier.htmTo test, try ecxecuting this SQL directly from sql*Plus:
CODE
update sonica.v_host_ship_info set upld = "Y" where from_lic = "licplt";
Hi Donald,
thanks for the response.
I recently found out that I may need to call a store procedure before I run any sort of update.
Maybe that is what you meant about not all views being updateable.
Questions to you is the 00904 error.
Is there something I am missing the way Oracle is interpreting my update statement?
I want to have this update a row at a time.
Would I be better off with a different type of statement?
Pete
