I don't suppose BULK UPDATE exists?... like BULK INSERT?

I have to update a field within a table of 60 records or so. Each record has a different field value. it's type varchar. i was given an excel file with the field values and was thinking of a bulk update like bulk insert, but i don't recall that it's possible that way.

Is the only way to create a table, bulk insert, then merge the two tables together with UPDATE?

Just wanted to see if there was an easier way to do it, otherwise i'll take the latter route. Thanks!

You'll need to bulk insert into a work table, then do the update.

Unfortunately (or maybe, fortunately ) there's not Bulk Update.

Or, you could do the processing with SSIS....
