well there will be alot more rows in my table some will have negwatch some wont so what i need to do is update the MIDIRB rows in the acrt table with the next highest value to it if on neg watch.i get the values from the irbt table
so if its 2 next is 3
id its 3 next is 4
if its 16 next is 20
I think I understand what you are after. The challenge is you need some way to order IRBT. The concept of next does not exist until you specify an order. Assuming you can figure out what column to use as an order by this is pretty simple.
