Replacing values via Update Query.
I'm trying to write an Update query that will convert all of the State names in my table to their two character abbreviations.
I wrote the following but there has to be a better way to do the rest. UPDATE RepUpdate SET State = 'MD' WHERE State = 'Maryland'

there is
you need a table with the state codes and names then your query is something like Code:
update RepUpdate
set State = t2.code
from RepUpdate t1
inner
join Statecodes t2
on t1.State = t2.name
