how do I create a computed column using a column from another table. Here is my code:

ALTER TABLE lease ADD deposit AS (SELECT rent FROM lease, propertyForRent WHERE lease.propertyNo=propertyForRent.propertyNo);

This is the error I receive:
Error at line 1: ORA-00936: missing expression

Note: The columns and tables do actually exist. I have checked that. Thanks...

Looks like you are using Oracle. SQLTeam.com is for Microsoft SQL Server. Try a site that specializes in Oracle such as dbforums.com or the Oracle site.
