Обсуждение: query failed , don't know why

UPDATE members m,payments p SET m.status = 2 WHERE p.paydate > 'now'::datetime - '1 month'::timespan and p.productid =
'xxxxxxx'and m.gid = p.gid
 

i'm trying to run that query and i'm getting 

"parse error near m"

but it looks ok to me 

i'm running postgresql 7.0.2 with freebsd 4.0 stable

jeff

shouldn't that be m.payments and not m,payments?

Try

UPDATE members set status = 2FROM payments pWHERE p.paydate > timestamp 'now' - interval '1 month' AND p.productid =
'xxxxxxx'and members.gid = p.gid;

OK according to what reference?  SQL92 doesn't allow anything but a
simple <table name> between UPDATE and SET --- no aliases, much less
multiple table names.
