I'm trying to add a WHERE clause.
How should i manage it?
This is my Query:
UPDATE usr_time_reg
JOIN users ON usr_time_nr = usr_time_reg.usr_time_nr
SET usr_time_reg.usr_employment = users.employment;
I'm trying to add: WHERE usr_time_reg.usr_emplyoment = "Övrigt"
I've tried:
UPDATE usr_time_reg
JOIN users ON usr_time_nr = usr_time_reg.usr_time_nr,
usr_time_reg.usr_employment = "Övrigt"
SET usr_time_reg.usr_employment = users.employment;
UPDATE usr_time_reg
JOIN users ON usr_time_nr = usr_time_reg.usr_time_nr
SET usr_time_reg.usr_employment = users.employment
WHERE usr_time_reg.usr_employment = "Övrigt";
UPDATE usr_time_reg
JOIN users ON usr_time_nr = usr_time_reg.usr_time_nr
WHERE usr_time_reg.usr_employment = "Övrigt"
SET usr_time_reg.usr_employment = users.employment;
UPDATE usr_time_reg
JOIN users ON usr_time_nr = usr_time_reg.usr_time_nr
AND usr_time_reg.usr_emplyment = "Övrigt"
SET usr_time_reg.usr_employment = users.employment;
Try below as it missing table reference in ON
UPDATE usr_time_reg
JOIN users ON users.usr_time_nr = usr_time_reg.usr_time_nr
SET usr_time_reg.usr_employment = users.employment
WHERE usr_time_reg.usr_employment = "Övrigt";
With JOIN
UPDATE usr_time_reg as tr, users as ur
SET tr.usr_employment = ur.employment
WHERE ur.usr_time_nr = tr.usr_time_nr and tr.usr_employment = "Övrigt";
While joining tables add table alias before field name to avoid ambiguous column error
The following query should work:
UPDATE usr_time_reg u1
INNER JOIN users u2
ON u1.usr_time_nr = u2.usr_time_nr
SET u1.usr_employment = u2.employment;
WHERE u1.usr_emplyment = 'Övrigt';
It can be difficult to keep track of update join syntax for MySQL, in addition to other databases you might be using. So it's always a good idea to have a good reference to use in case you forget.
The main change I made, other than using correct syntax, was to introduce table aliases to the update query. In addition to making it a lot easier to read, it also resolved one of your errors regarding an ambiguous column reference to user_time_nr. Now, it is clear to which table we are referring when we use that column.

I'm trying to update a tablecolumn based on another value inside this table but I keep getting an error.
My query is as follows:
UPDATE partcreditor
SET partcreditor.creditorid = creditor.creditorid
FROM partcreditor
INNER JOIN creditor ON partcreditor.creditornr = creditor.creditornr
WHERE creditor.relgroupid = 1
AND creditor.creditortypeid = 1
UPDATE partcreditor AS PC
INNER JOIN creditor AS CR ON PC.creditornr = CR.creditornr
SET PC.creditorid = CR.creditorid
WHERE CR.relgroupid = 1 AND CR.creditortypeid = 1
No need to use the FROM clause in the update. As well as use alias name for better readability.
I've got two Queries to Update two tables:
First Table
UPDATE user_info SET `location` = ".$locationid.", `looking_for` = ".$lookingfor." WHERE `user_info`.`user_id` = ".$infoid.";
Second Table
UPDATE user_personality SET `personality` = '".$changedescription."' WHERE `user_personality`.`user_info_id` = ".$infoid.";
And I'm trying to merge those two Queries, using the same statement.
UPDATE user_info, user_personality
SET user_info.location = ".$locationid.", user_info.`looking_for` = ".$lookingfor.", user_personality.personality = '".$changedescription."'
WHERE `user_info`.`user_id` = ".$infoid."
AND `user_personality`.`user_info_id` = ".$infoid."
I'm not receiving any error message, but is not updating.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Just a guess...
"
UPDATE user_info i
JOIN user_personality p
ON p.user_info_id = i.user_id
SET i.location = $locationid
, i.looking_for = '$lookingfor'
, p.personality = '$changedescription'
WHERE i.user_id = $infoid;
";
If you set the 2 table fields equal to each other in the where clause it should work, so I believe you'd change your where clause to:
WHERE `user_info`.`user_id` = `user_personality`.`user_info_id`
AND `user_info`.`user_id` = ".$infoid."
MySQL definitely supports updating multiple tables, so the where clause that works for a multi table select statement should also work for an update.
I am trying to update some rows in a table from another row in a different table.
this is the sql I have so far:
UPDATE nymb_posts
JOIN nymb_postmeta
ON nymb_postmeta.post_id = nymb_posts.ID
WHERE nymb_postmeta.meta_key = "_wp_attached_file"
AND nymb_posts.post_type = "attachment"
AND nymb_posts.post_parent = "0"
SET nymb_posts.Guid = nymb_postmeta.meta_value
I just get an "error in your SQL syntax".
If I remove the WHERE clause there is no error. If I make it a SELECT insead of an UPDATE the WHERE clause works.
What is wrong with the WHERE clause?
The set goes before the where:
UPDATE nymb_posts JOIN
nymb_postmeta
ON nymb_postmeta.post_id = nymb_posts.ID
SET nymb_posts.Guid = nymb_postmeta.meta_value
WHERE nymb_postmeta.meta_key = "_wp_attached_file" AND
nymb_posts.post_type = "attachment" AND
nymb_posts.post_parent = "0";
Use set before where clause then it will work
DELETE IF EXIST `#__menu`.*
FROM `#__menu`
LEFT JOIN `#__extensions` ON `#__extensions`.`name` = 'com_view'
WHERE `#__menu`.`component_id` = `#__xtensions`.`extension_id`
AND `#__menu`.`alias` = 'view-sites' AND `#__menu`.`path` = 'view-sites' AND `#__menu`.`title` = 'View sites';
What is wrong in my sql? I think the problem is in IF EXIST, but i could not figure out how to use it on row.
When you're deleting rows from a table, you don't need to use IF EXISTS - you're using a WHERE clause, so if it exists - it will be deleted.
Try changing your query to:
DELETE
FROM `#__menu`
LEFT JOIN `#__extensions` ON `#__extensions`.`name` = 'com_view'
WHERE `#__menu`.`component_id` = `#__xtensions`.`extension_id`
AND `#__menu`.`alias` = 'view-sites' AND `#__menu`.`path` = 'view-sites' AND `#__menu`.`title` = 'View sites';
Also, you don't need to specify ```#__menu.*`` (the columns) to be deleted - you'll just needDELETE FROM...`. Check out here for more info regarding the syntax.
Here is my update query.
UPDATE sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c, sugarcrm.qb_salesorders
SET sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c.qb_salesorders_leadsleads_ida = sugarcrm.qb_salesorders.memo, sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c.qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb = sugarcrm.qb_salesorders.id
WHERE sugarcrm.qb_salesorders.id = sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c.qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb
When I run this it gives me Affected rows 0.
Here is my select statement using the same info that is in the WHERE statement.
SELECT * from qb_salesorders_leads_c, sugarcrm.qb_salesorders
WHERE sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c.qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb = sugarcrm.qb_salesorders.id
This returns 354 Rows which is what I am expecting to update on the update query. What am I missing. Please help!
Convert the implicit join to an explicit one:
UPDATE sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c leads
INNER JOIN sugarcrm.qb_salesorders orders
ON orders.id = leads.qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb
SET leads.qb_salesorders_leadsleads_ida = orders.memo,
leads.qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb = orders.id
As you can see, I also used aliases to make the SQL compact and legible.
To UPDATE using a join, you have to use the explicit join syntax:
UPDATE sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c
INNER JOIN sugarcrm.qb_salesorders
ON qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb.id
= sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c.qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb
SET sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c.qb_salesorders_leadsleads_ida
= qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb.memo
, sugarcrm.qb_salesorders_leads_c.qb_salesorders_leadsqb_salesorders_idb
= sugarcrm.qb_salesorders.id
