I have a (very simple and standard) UPDATE statement which works fine either directly in Query Analyser, or executed as a stored procedure in Query Analyser.
UPDATE A
SET
A.field1 = B.col1
, A.field2 = B.col2
FROM
tblA AS A INNER JOIN tblB AS B
ON A.pk1 = B.pk1 AND A.pk2 = B.pk2
Problem is when i execute the same stored proc via microsoft ADP (by double-clicking on the sproc name or using the Run option), it says "query ran successfully but did not return records" AND does NOT update the records when i inspect the tables directly.
Before anyone even says "syntax of MS-Access is different than SQLServer T-SQL", remember that with ADP everything happens on the server and one is actually passing thru to T-SQL.
Any bright ideas from any ADP gurus out there?
Gotcha. Responding to my own question for the benefit of anyone else.
Tools / Options / Advanced / Client-Server Settings / Default max records is set at 10,000 (presumably this is the default). Change this to 0 for unlimited.
My table had 100,000+ rows and whatever set of 10,000 it was updating was difficult to find ( among a sea of 90,000+ un-updated rows ). Hence the update did not work fully as expected.
