Update only 20 rows

604058Jul 22 2008 — edited Jul 23 2008
I only want to update the first 20 rows in a table that match a certain condition. Here is the sql I have which is not working:

UPDATE random_numbers (SELECT ROWNUM, randomnum, flag FROM random_numbers where flag='N') SET flag = 'P' WHERE rownum < 2;

Here's the error I get:
ORA-00971: missing SET keyword

Any suggestions?
