I can update a field just fine with Update [Table] Set [Field] = "PASS".
But if I try to set the field equal to a case statement I get an error that says "Provider error `(-2147217900) Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(case when".
Here is the exact query I'm using:
Update [TableName] set [Sector Lat Valid] = case when [RBS Lat] is null then "NA" when [RBS Lat]>=0 and [RBS Long]<=90 then "PASS" else "FAIL" end
Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance?
Try using single quotations '<value>' instead of double quotations "<value>".

the syntax of the SQLCreator / SQLExecutor is not specific for FME, it follows the underlying database. So the syntax may be different between Oracle and SQL Server, for example.
Since you're referencing table names using brackes "[ ... ]", I'm suspecting that you're using MS Access? If that is so, Access does not support CASE statements, you will have to translate into an IIF function. See here for a discussion with examples.
