Using a HAVING clause in an UPDATE statement

Question

This query

SELECT
FirstName, LastName, NCAAStats.AccountId, College_Translator.school_name, StatTypeId, COUNT(*) AS 'Count'
FROM NCAAstats
INNER JOIN College_Translator
ON College_Translator.AccountID = NCAAstats.AccountId
GROUP BY FirstName, LastName, NCAAStats.AccountId, College_Translator.school_name, CalendarYear, StatTypeId
HAVING COUNT(*) >1
ORDER BY 'Count' DESC

Selects records that I would like to set an ISValid bit to 0.

These records are records that appear twice in my database due to an input error.

I'm looking for something like:

UPDATE NCAAstats
SET IsValid = 0
WHERE (my select statement)

This is on MS SQL SERVER 2008

Thanks!

You can join to that subquery like so:

update n1 set
    isvalid = 0
from
    ncaastats n1
    inner join (
        SELECT
        FirstName, LastName, NCAAStats.AccountId, College_Translator.school_name, StatTypeId, COUNT(*) AS 'Count'
        FROM NCAAstats
        INNER JOIN College_Translator
        ON College_Translator.AccountID = NCAAstats.AccountId
        GROUP BY FirstName, LastName, NCAAStats.AccountId, College_Translator.school_name, CalendarYear, StatTypeId
        HAVING COUNT(*) >1
    ) n2 on
        n1.accountid = n2.accountid
