Thanks for the reply,i am looking for Null values and based on those null values i want to update a column in one of the tables. A trigger that would update on insert or update with a update statement that has if statements
thanks
No offense but you are talking in circles here. I thought you wanted to update ONE table, but now we are back to updating multiple tables.
An update cannot have IF statements. In t-sql IF statements are used to control flow of processing statements. You might need a case expression in your update statement. I do not have even close to a clear picture of what you are doing here. If you can post ddl for ALL of the tables and some data along with a clear definition of what you are trying to do I will do my best to help.
