    I want to update in single query, other wise i have to use transaction and i can not use transaction.....

    Why not? Seems very unreasonable.

    You're using SQL Server 2008 - Google "Composable DML". You can insert into two different tables in the same statement using the OUTPUT from one of them.

    "Composable DMS" - so that's the term for it.

    Too bad you can only INSERT the results somewhere or it would be really cool (instead of semi-cool)!


    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
