Hi All,

Im a newbie to tsql and I wanted to see if anyone can help me write a query that will grab bin# from table A and if its missing on table B copy it. I tried and update query but it doesn't work and also a select Into and failed too.

Table_A
idx Bin
1 CSR010101A
2 CSR010101B
3 CSR010102A
4 CSR010102B
5 CSR010201A
6 CSR010201B
7 CSR010202A
8 CSR010202B

Table_B

idx Bin
1 CSR010101A
2 CSR010101B
3 Null
4 Null
5 CSR010201A
6 Null
7 CSR010202A
8 NUll

update B
set Bin = a.Bin
from Table_B b
join Table_A a on b.idx = a.idx
where b.Bin is null
