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

### Description

The provided SQL update statement modifies the `MetalType` field in the `Process` table. The change is made based on a specific condition that ensures only records with a matching metal type are updated.

### Breakdown

#### UPDATE Clause

The first part of the statement, `UPDATE Process`, specifies the table to be modified (`Process`) and the action to be performed (update).

#### SET Clause

The second part, `SET Process.MetalType = "8110611"`, defines the new value for the `MetalType` field in the specified table. In this case, all records will have their `MetalType` updated to `"8110611"`.

#### WHERE Clause

The third part of the statement, `WHERE (((Process.MetalType)="8111196")`, specifies the condition under which the update should be applied:

*   The inner parentheses define a boolean expression that evaluates to true if the value in the `MetalType` field matches `"8111196"`.
*   The outer parentheses ensure that the entire WHERE clause is evaluated correctly, even when used within other SQL expressions.

#### Condition Evaluation

In essence, this statement updates all records in the `Process` table where the current `MetalType` is equal to `"8111196"`. Any record with a different metal type will not be updated.

### Example Use Case

This update statement might be used in a scenario where an organization needs to standardize its metal types across various processes. By matching specific process identifiers (e.g., `Process.MetalType`) against a predefined list, the update ensures consistency and reduces errors.
