## What it does
**SQL Update Statement**
=========================

### Description

The provided SQL update statement modifies the `STSCode` field in the `Process` table based on a specific condition related to the `PartNumber`.

### Breakdown

#### UPDATE Clause

*   The `UPDATE` keyword is used to specify that we want to modify existing data in the database.
*   In this case, we are updating the `Process` table.

#### SET Clause

*   The `SET` keyword is used to specify which fields need to be updated.
*   Here, we are updating the `STSCode` field of the `Process` table.

#### SET STSCode = "W"

*   We are assigning a new value ("W") to the `STSCode` field.
*   This update will apply this new value to all rows in the `Process` table where the condition is met.

#### WHERE Clause

*   The `WHERE` keyword is used to specify conditions that must be true for the update to occur.
*   In this case, we have a complex condition involving multiple criteria:

    ```sql
WHERE (((Left([PartNumber],3))="900"));
```

    *   This condition uses the `LEFT` function to extract the first 3 characters from the `PartNumber`.
    *   It then checks if these extracted characters are equal to "900".
    *   The double parentheses (`( )`) indicate that this is a composite condition, which means it will be evaluated as a single expression.

### Logic

The update statement will apply the new value ("W") to the `STSCode` field of all rows in the `Process` table where:

*   The `PartNumber` has 3 or more characters (since we're extracting the first 3 characters).
*   The first 3 characters of the `PartNumber` are "900".

This means that only parts with part numbers starting with "900" will have their `STSCode` updated to "W".
