How many rows are in the update target table [MOHG_Processing_TestData].[dbo].[Stage2test]?

The alphanumeric bit sounds interesting. Here's my take on generating a list of insecure PINs:

SELECT

x.PIN, y.InValidCode

FROM (((VALUES (0),(100),(200),(300),(400),(500),(600),(700),(800),(900)) t3 (n3)

CROSS JOIN (VALUES (0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9))...

If you run the original SELECT...

select *

FROM MOHG_Processing_TestData.dbo.Stage2test

INNER JOIN MOHG_Processing_TestData.dbo.Country_Transform

ON MOHG_Processing_TestData.dbo.Stage2test.Address1_City = MOHG_Processing_TestData.dbo.Country_Transform.DQCorrection COLLATE...

Have you checked the target table after the update to see if any values remain unchanged?

As being only 4 digits, any pin code is rather unsecure. If you want to eliminate "unsecure" pin codes, you'll eliminate quite a few pin codes, and thus making...

It doesn't matter if the staging table (the update target) has multiple rows which match the search predicate of the update.

Looks like you have multiple matching rows in the country_transform table. Test with this:

SELECT *

FROM MOHG_Processing_TestData.dbo.Stage2test t

INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT DQCorrection FROM MOHG_Processing_TestData.dbo.Country_Transform) s

ON t.Address1_City = s.DQCorrection...

Thanks for that. Something you might be able to help me with is if you look at a view in design it messes up the format.

Is there a...
