sql - Update x columns from many rows in a different table -


i have table of products looks this:

products (companyid int, product1 int, product2 int ... product8 int) 

and table of product details so:

productdetails (companyid int productid int) 

my productdetails table has (at most) 8 rows of products each companyid.

i update products table products in each row (8 of them) values of products productdetails table rows products.companyid = productdetails.companyid

is there way without loop (i.e 1 update command)?

edit:

so idea products table contains company information (no product info) , productdetails table contains info 1-8 products / company.

so 1 update command should update products table each row (product1, product2 ... product8) products found in productdetails table each company.

you want pivot data table, allowing 8 columns. example below populates 8 products, if there more, simple don't inserted anywhere.

create table company (     companyid int,     name varchar(100)); insert company values (1203, 'apple'); insert company values (7707, 'microsoft'); create table products (     companyid int,     product1 varchar(100),     product2 varchar(100),     product3 varchar(100),     product4 varchar(100),     product5 varchar(100),     product6 varchar(100),     product7 varchar(100),     product8 varchar(100)); create table productdetails (     companyid int,     product varchar(100)); insert productdetails values (1203, 'ipad'); insert productdetails values (1203, 'iphone'); insert productdetails values (1203, 'ipod'); insert productdetails values (7707, 'visual studio'); insert productdetails values (7707, 'office');   insert products select *   ( select companyid, product, rn=row_number() on (partition companyid order product)   productdetails ) source pivot (max(product) rn in ([1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8])) pv;
