basically i need to take a group or records flag them as in progress so nothing else uses them and return the same records.

the following works but i am sure there is a better way to do this that doesnt involve 2 queries.

any suggestions are welcomed

BEGIN TRAN

select top 100 * Orders O

UPDATE orders SET inprogress = '1'
WHERE id in
(
select top 100 * Orders O
)

IF @@ERROR <> 0 BEGIN ROLLBACK

TRAN END

COMMIT TRAN

for anyone else you can use output

UPDATE orders SET inprogress = '1'

output inserted.*

WHERE id in
(
select top 100 * Orders O
)

[code]
UPDATE o
SET inprogress = '1'
FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS Rn,inprogress FROM Orders)o
WHERE Rn <=100
[/code]
