SQL Update to the SUM of its joined values

I'm trying to update a field in the database to the sum of its joined values:

UPDATE P
SET extrasPrice = SUM(E.price)
FROM dbo.BookingPitchExtras AS E
INNER JOIN dbo.BookingPitches AS P ON E.pitchID = P.ID
    AND P.bookingID = 1
WHERE E.[required] = 1

When I run this I get the following error:

"An aggregate may not appear in the set list of an UPDATE statement."

Any ideas?

Solution 1:

How about this:

UPDATE p
SET p.extrasPrice = t.sumPrice
FROM BookingPitches AS p
INNER JOIN
    (
        SELECT PitchID, SUM(Price) sumPrice
        FROM BookingPitchExtras
        WHERE [required] = 1
        GROUP BY PitchID 
    ) t
    ON t.PitchID = p.ID
WHERE p.bookingID = 1

Solution 2:

An alternate to the above solutions is using Aliases for Tables:

UPDATE T1 SET T1.extrasPrice = (SELECT SUM(T2.Price) FROM BookingPitchExtras T2 WHERE T2.pitchID = T1.ID)
FROM BookingPitches T1;

Solution 3:

I ran into the same issue and found that I could solve it with a Common Table Expression (available in SQL 2005 or later):

;with cte as (
    SELECT PitchID, SUM(Price) somePrice
    FROM BookingPitchExtras
    WHERE [required] = 1 
    GROUP BY PitchID)
UPDATE p SET p.extrasPrice=cte.SomePrice
FROM BookingPitches p INNER JOIN cte ON p.ID=cte.PitchID
WHERE p.BookingID=1
