trigger or stored procedure

New D.I.C Head Joined: 28 Nov, 2005 Posts: 22 My Contributions	I need to know how to multiply two columns in the same row to then place the product in the next field: \| CELL_1 \| \|CELL_2\| \|CELL_1 x CELL_2\| I was wondering if I would use a trigger or a stored procedure. I also cant really find and sample code that is even close to what I am talking about. so if you can post some or even links that would be much appreciated.

This type of thing can be done using SQL itself. CODE Update tablename set column3 = (column1 * column2) where id = 1 This should set column3 to the product of column1 and column2 for the row specified by id 1. I hope that helps.
