I am very new to Sql, so bear with me. I have run a query the following query:
INSERT INTO adhoc_dt.`table` (id, name) VALUES(53098974, 'John');
however, by accident I run it twice. I would like to remove the duplicate. How can that be done?
I tried
INSERT INTO adhoc_dt.`table` (id, name) VALUES(53098974, 'John');
but get an error:
SQL ERROR [1064][42000]: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check
the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near
If your table name include special char of reserved word then you should enclose the table name with backticks:
`table`
But looking to your question, the table name seems:
`adhoc_dt.`table`
In this case, the correct syntax for delete is:
DELETE FROM adhoc_dt.`table`
WHERE id = 53098974 AND name = 'JOHN'
but in this way you delete all the rows with:
id = 53098974 AND name = 'JOHN'
You have to follow steps
truncate table
apply unique constraint on ID
run insert script

Hello stackoverflow's friends i need your help with this sql clausule this is the error into mysql:
_mysql_exceptions.ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE email='Tysaic0344#gmail.com'' at line 1")
and this is my code:
INSERT INTO user (token) VALUES (1) WHERE email='example#email.com'
You cannot insert values into an existing row. You can either update or delete the existing records. In your case, I think you want to update the existing row. You can use UPDATE.
UPDATE user SET token = 1 WHERE email = 'example#email.com';
If you want to add records to the table use INSERT
INSERT INTO user VALUES (1, 'example#email.com');
Here is the link for your reference
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb243852(v=office.12).aspx
You can't INSERT with a WHERE clause.
If you need to UPDATE the record where you have the email from:
UPDATE user
Set token = 1
WHERE email='example#email.com'
Or INSERT with email
INSERT INTO user (token, email)
VALUES (1, 'example#email.com')
(or without)
INSERT INTO user (token)
VALUES (1)
These kind of errors you MUST be able to fix by yourself, the error even tells you where it went wrong (at the end it says "near 'WHERE...").
Check the docs that dns_nx included (especially https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/update.html ) for the correct syntax to do an update.
You cannot INSERT a value into an existing row. The WHERE clause is invalid with INSERT. If you want to update an existing row, then you have to UPDATE the field like this:
UPDATE
user
SET
token = 1
WHERE
email='example#email.com'
Please review the docs about INSERT and UPDATE
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/update.html
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/insert.html
INSERT inserts new rows into a table. The WHERE clause is used to filter existing rows from a table. It doesn't make sense in a INSERT query; that's why the INSERT statement does not contain a WHERE clause.
The WHERE clause is used to filter the rows to fetch from the table (the SELECT statement), the rows to modify (the UPDATE statement) or to remove from the table (the DELETE statement).
Your query looks like you want to modify the data already existing in the table. The UPDATE statement you need looks like this:
UPDATE user SET token = 1 WHERE email = 'example#email.com'
I'm trying to use this query but whatever I do I cannot get it to work. I'm still very new to the on duplicate key update syntax, but I can't find anything wrong with it
INSERT INTO product_leverancier (product_id, leverancier_id, prijs)
SELECT i.product_id, i.leverancier_id, i.prijs FROM import_tbl i
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE product_id=VALUES(product_id),
leverancier_id=VALUES(leverancier_id), prijs=VALUES(prijs)
The error I get is this:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'UPDATE product_id=VALUES(product_id), leverancier_id=VALUES(leverancier_id), pr' at line 2
Error code 1064.
And whatever I change it's always the same error and error code.
Any idea what the problem is?
Your syntax is a bit off, and I don't believe that VALUES is used when using a SELECT as the source of the insert. Instead, use that source table for the update values:
INSERT INTO product_leverancier (product_id, leverancier_id, prijs)
SELECT i.product_id, i.leverancier_id, i.prijs
FROM import_tbl i
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
product_id = i.product_id,
leverancier_id = i.leverancier_id,
prijs = i.prijs
Note that the alias i is required when referring to the columns in the source table.
Here is a good reference question which delves deeper into the syntax of ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE when it is used with INSERT INTO ... SELECT:
INSERT INTO ... SELECT FROM ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
Have you tried this?
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
product_leverancier.product_id = i.product_id,
product_leverancier.leverancier_id = i.leverancier_id,
product_leverancier.prijs = i.prijs
I'm fairly new to using triggers and have a tiny question.
I have a trigger finds a match between a newly inserted enquiry and a customer table.
INSERT INTO customersmatched (customerID,enquiryID) SELECT id, NEW.id FROM customer AS c WHERE c.customerName=NEW.companyName HAVING COUNT(id)=1;
I then need to update the newly inserted enquiry so it has a status which shows it's matched (but only if it has matched). So I tried adding this line after the insert.
UPDATE enquiry SET status="Live-Enquiry" WHERE id IN ( SELECT enquiryID FROM customersmatched WHERE enquiryID = NEW.id);
Except I get this error:
MySQL said: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the >right
syntax to use near 'UPDATE enquiry SET status="Live-Enquiry" WHERE id
IN ( SELECT enquiryID FROM cus' at line 5
How do I allow multiple queries within a trigger. I've tried doing something like in this link: Multiple insert/update statements inside trigger?
But doesn't work either. I'm using phpmyadmin btw. Can anyone help? :D
If you have ansi quotes enabled then you can't use double quotes as a string literal, and need to use single quotes instead. see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-mode.html#sqlmode_ansi_quotes Otherwise, I don't see any syntax errors that jump out at me.
Try changing SET status="Live-Enquiry" to SET status='Live-Enquiry'
EDIT:
What is the purpose of the first query? I'm not sure you need the HAVING in that query. If want a distinct list of matches, just use DISTINCT
INSERT INTO customersmatched (customerID,enquiryID)
SELECT DISTINCT id, NEW.id
FROM customer AS c
WHERE c.customerName=NEW.companyName;
The second query, if I understand it correctly, can be simplified to this:
UPDATE enquiry
SET status='Live-Enquiry'
WHERE id = NEW.id;
I am trying to run this SQL Query:
INSERT INTO controldata (field,value)
VALUES (customer_billing_product_type,
SELECT name from customer_billing_product_types)
to insert all rows in the customer_billing_product_types table into the controldata table with the field always being customer_billing_product_type but i get an SQL Error saying:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near
'SELECT name from customer_billing_product_types)' at line 1
The INSERT as you wrote it expects to insert one record, but then in values an entire set of records is returned. Try to change your query to
INSERT INTO controldata(field, value)
SELECT customer_billing_product_type, t.name FROM customer_billing_product_types t;
This selects all t.name values from customer_billing_product_types, adds customer_billing_product_type as column and inserts all the results into controldata.
You are using wrong syntax try below:
INSERT into controldata (field1) SELECT name from customer_billing_product_types;
If you want to keep a field as constant then you can use as per below:
INSERT into controldata (field,value) SELECT 'customer_billing_product_types',name from customer_billing_product_types;
I am trying to use IF EXISTS in MySQL but i keep getting syntax errors and I have researched for correct syntax but everything isnt working...
What i need is:
If query exists then UPDATE else INSERT new...
$queryString = "IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM $ONCALL_TABLE WHERE uid='$contextUser' AND submitid='$submitid' AND submitstatus=3) THEN UPDATE $ONCALL_TABLE SET uid='$contextUser', start_time='$onStr', end_time='$offStr', amount='$amount' ELSE INSERT INTO $ONCALL_TABLE (uid, start_time, end_time, amount) VALUES ('$contextUser','$onStr', '$offStr', '$amount') END IF";
Error message:
Can't perform query: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM timesheet_oncall WHERE uid='admin' AND submitid='136545' at line 1
REPLACE INTO is what you need. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replace.html
REPLACE works exactly like INSERT, except that if an old row in the table has the same value as a new row for a PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE index, the old row is deleted before the new row is inserted.
In your case
REPLACE INTO
$ONCALL_TABLE (uid, start_time, end_time, amount)
VALUES ('$contextUser','$onStr', '$offStr', '$amount')
WHERE uid='$contextUser';
Assuming uid is a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE KEY
