Hy at all, today is the day of ...question. I've a single table, with a relation master-detail like this:

RecordID    MasterID   Field1 Field2 .... NrDetail
1           0          xxx     yyyy       1
2           0          aaaa     bbbb      2
3           1          hhhhh   ssss       0
4           2          eee     sssss      0
5           2          jjj      hhhh      0

As you can see, NrDetail contain the total of "child record". Unfortunately, i've to create this field... and i would like to write it in my table. So my SQL question is: how to do this type of SQL to write the field NrDetail ?

Something like:

UPDATE table SET NrDetail= 
  (SELECT COUNT(*) as Total FROM table WHERE MasterID= RecordID) 

But i think there's some mistake...

Thank you in advance !
