Question

I want to update a table and get the updated records from default “inserted” table of SQL Server.

Updating part of the following query is successful but why does the remaining ” SELECT * FROM inserted” part of the query raise error as “Invalid object name ‘inserted’.”?

use AdventureWorks
go

UPDATE TOP(50) Person.Address
SET  City= 'PARIS'

SELECT * FROM inserted

Answer 1

You would want to do this:

 UPDATE TOP(50) Person.Address set
 city='Paris' output inserted.*

unless you want the old value, in which case use deleted.*
