comment update statement with self join
@孔夫子, thanks. For some reason I thought that would cause a syntax error. However, for reference, that's not the sybase manual. It's the Sybase IQ manual, which is a different beast. Either way, it does seem to work.

comment Can MySQL reasonably perform queries on billions of rows?
My company has multiple billion row tables that use sybase. Runs fine as long as you have the correct indexes and know how to look at a query plan.

comment Best way to work around NOT IN NULL issue?
Is there any performance repercussion to doing so many sub-queries? Or will the server be smart enough to realize it doesn't need to be evaluated for each row of yourtable
