Is it possible to update a column with another column's value, say
UPDATE member SET votes = `SELECT count(votes) FROM ballot WHERE id = 1`;
with or without aggregates?
Tried everything I can think of, searched the docs, reading the finished parts
of Bruce's book...
If not, are there truly dynamic SQL-only (i.e. without resorting to external
functions) ways to achieve this? Am I being obtuse and missing something
obvious?
