Hi Chris or anyone who can help

When I try this just below, it complains about foo , saying "ERROR: schema
"foo" does not exist." I got stuck on this error for a while now but still
trying to see why but still no luck so far. If you have something please
help

begin;

update foo

set br_desc = bar.br_desc

, br_active = bar.br_active

(rest of columns)

where foo.br_cde = bar.br_cde;

you need to replace "foo" and "bar" with the names of your tables.
