    Hi all,

     

    Is it possible to add a new column in an update query? I am joing two tables  with [Encountered Month] from Table 1 and [Calendar Date] from table 2 and trying to add one column[Fiscal Month] into the first table where  dbo.table1.[Encountered Month]=dbo.table2.[Calendar Date]

    Appreciate your help.

    You can not add a new column in an update query (if the column is not defined in the table). You can add computed column to the select query.
