We are trying to connect to CSV as a Database and could successfully select desired records using Microsoft Text Driver. However unable to Update records. Any help with Update SQL Statement to update CSV as a DB would be much appreciated

Hi @Rajiv Tarafdar​ ,

You can't update records in CSV unless it involves a JOIN operation.

Here is the syntax for updating records in CSV using JOINs:

UPDATE [Movies$$] AS t1

INNER JOIN [Budget$$] AS t2

ON t1.[Title]=t2.[Title]

SET t1.[Title]= t2.[Profit]

I haven't tried using Self Joins, maybe try giving that a try and see if it works out for you?

Kind Regards,
