Queue Tables and UPDATE

The best practice is to avoid using the UPDATE statement on a queue table because the operation requires a full table scan to rebuild the internal queue table cache. You should reserve this statement for exception handling.

An UPDATE statement cannot be in a multistatement request that contains a SELECT and CONSUME request for the same queue table.

For more information on queue tables and the queue table cache, see SQL Data Definition Language.
