What Happens If the UPDATE Subquery Returns Multiple Rows
What Happens If the UPDATE Subquery Returns Multiple Rows? - Oracle DBA FAQ - Understanding SQL DML Statements
✍: FYIcenter.com
If a subquery is used in a UPDATE statement, it must return exactly one row for each row in the update table that matches the WHERE clause. If it returns multiple rows, Oracle server will give you an error message. To test this out, you can try the following tutorial exercise:
UPDATE fyi_links SET (notes, created) = (SELECT last_name, hire_date FROM employees WHERE employee_id < id) WHERE id < 110; ERROR at line 1: ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
The problem is the criteria in the subquery: "employee_id < id"
