As an example, I create SQL like this
--Update P Set
--Select ID, Name as OldName,
Name='Jones'
From Person P
Where ID = 1000
I highlight the text from the end up to the Select and run that SQL. Once I verify that it is pulling the record I want to update, I hit shift-up to hightlight the Update statement and run that.
Note that I used an alias. I never update a table name explicity. I always use an alias.
If I do this in conjunction with transactions and rollback/commits, I am really, really safe.
