I'm trying to populate a field id_owner of table1 (video_games) with the id from table2 (owner).
Field possessor of table1 contains the same data as field Name of table2.
I'm working with PhpMyAdmin.
What i 've already tried that was found under StackOverflow :
UPDATE t
SET t.`id_owner` = o.`id`
FROM `video_games` AS t
INNER JOIN
`owner` AS o
ON t.possessor = o.Name
Added quotes :
UPDATE t
SET t.`id_owner` = o.`id`
FROM `video_games` AS t
INNER JOIN
`owner` AS o
ON t.`possessor` = o.`Name`
UPDATE `video_games`
SET `id_owner` = `i`.`id`,
FROM (
SELECT `id`
FROM `owner`) `i`
WHERE
`i`.`Name` = `video_games`.`possessor`
without the aliases
UPDATE
`video_games`,
`owner`
SET
`video_games`.`id_owner` = `owner`.`id`,
WHERE
`video_games`.`possessor` = `owner`.`Name`;
Still get stuck with the same MySql error:
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 'WHERE
`video_games`.`possessor` = `owner`.`Name``' at line 7
You are not selecting Name in the inner SELECT. It should be like this:
UPDATE video_games
SET id_owner = i.id
FROM (
SELECT id, Name
FROM owner) i
WHERE i.Name = video_games.possessor
I tried your idea but it resulted with the same error message.
Further research lead me to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/update.html which proposition worked fine
UPDATE video_games,owner
SET video_game.id_owner=owner.id
WHERE video_games.id_possessor=owner.id;

inputPreviewOffsetLeft, inputPreviewOffsetTop, inputPreviewSizeWidth, inputPreviewSizeHeight are present in the display_preview table and display. display_preview has a foreign key displayId on display table.
INSERT INTO display_preview b (b.inputPreviewOffsetLeft, b.inputPreviewOffsetTop, b.inputPreviewSizeWidth, b.inputPreviewSizeHeight)
SELECT bd.inputPreviewOffsetLeft, bd.inputPreviewOffsetTop, bd.inputPreviewSizeWidth, bd.inputPreviewSizeHeight
FROM display
INNER JOIN display bd on bd.id = b.displayId
Error Code: 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 'b (b.inputPreviewOffsetLeft, b.inputPreviewOffsetTop, b.inputPreviewSizeWidth...' at line 1
You don't need to get INSERT table an alias name and I think you might want to use INSERT INTO ... SELECT on display_preview and display
you can try the below query
INSERT INTO display_preview (inputPreviewOffsetLeft,inputPreviewOffsetTop, inputPreviewSizeWidth, inputPreviewSizeHeight)
SELECT bd.inputPreviewOffsetLeft, bd.inputPreviewOffsetTop, bd.inputPreviewSizeWidth, bd.inputPreviewSizeHeight
FROM display_preview b
INNER JOIN display bd on bd.id = b.displayId
EDIT
If you want to do UPDATE ... JOIN you can try this.
UPDATE display_preview b
INNER JOIN display bd on bd.id = b.displayId
SET
b.inputPreviewOffsetLeft = bd.inputPreviewOffsetLeft,
b.inputPreviewOffsetTop = bd.inputPreviewOffsetTop,
b.inputPreviewSizeWidth = bd.inputPreviewSizeWidth ,
b.inputPreviewSizeHeight = bd.inputPreviewSizeHeight
For more detail you can refer to MySQL UPDATE JOIN
I have two tables name activties and post_media now I want to update the media background color in activities table according to post media table record but when I run query it give me error.
Query
UPDATE A
SET A.bg_color = M.bg_color
FROM activities A
INNER JOIN post_media M ON A.relation_id = M.user_post_id AND A.media=M.file
WHERE A.relation_id>0
Error
#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 'FROM activities A INNER JOIN post_media M ON A.relation_id =
M.user_post_' at line 3
UPDATE syntax is different from SELECT. There is no FROM clause usage in UPDATE statement.
General flow is: UPDATE <table name> [JOIN <other tables>] SET ...
UPDATE activities A
INNER JOIN post_media M ON A.relation_id = M.user_post_id AND A.media=M.file
SET A.bg_color = M.bg_color
WHERE A.relation_id>0
Check documentation here for full syntax and further understanding: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/update.html
Update query with use of join is different than SELECT query. Here you need to add tables before SET clause and all conditions in WHERE clause like SELECT.
e.g/
UPDATE t1, t2
SET t1.field = t2.field
WHERE condition 1
AND condition 2
So your query will be like as below:
UPDATE activities A, post_media M
SET A.bg_color = M.bg_color
WHERE A.relation_id = M.user_post_id
AND A.media=M.file
AND A.relation_id>0
Try this one.
While trying to execute the query given below, I get an syntax error
I need to update a column value from table civicrm_address and move it from abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17 database to abc_drupal database
In order to achieve it, I get an syntax error near from FROM,
The error I get is as follows
#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 'FROM abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address,abc_drupal.civic' at line 3
How can I fix it?
UPDATE abc_drupal.civicrm_address
SET abc_drupal.civicrm_address.state_province_id = abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.state_province_id
FROM abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address,abc_drupal.civicrm_address
WHERE abc_drupal.civicrm_address.state_province_id IS NULL
AND abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.state_province_id IS NOT NULL
AND abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.id = abc_drupal.civicrm_address.id
AND abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.contact_id IS NOT NULL;
MySQL puts JOIN in the UPDATE clause, not through a separate FROM (the FROM is used by SQL Server and Postgres).
Your query as written is hard to decipher. I would strongly recommend that you use table aliases, so the query is more easily written and read:
UPDATE abc_drupal.civicrm_address a JOIN
abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address aa
ON aa.id = a.id
SET a.state_province_id = aa.state_province_id
WHERE a.state_province_id IS NULL
aa.state_province_id IS NOT NULL AND
aa.contact_id IS NOT NULL;
You need to specify set later like below:
UPDATE TABLEA a
JOIN TABLEB b ON a.join_colA = b.join_colB
SET a.columnToUpdate = [something]
UPDATE abc_drupal.civicrm_address
join abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address inner join abc_drupal.civicrm_address
on abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.id = abc_drupal.civicrm_address.id
SET abc_drupal.civicrm_address.state_province_id = abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.state_province_id
where abc_drupal.civicrm_address.state_province_id IS NULL
AND abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.state_province_id IS NOT NULL
AND abc_abc_drupal_civi_4_17.civicrm_address.contact_id IS NOT NULL
Good Afternoon,
I am trying to update a table using price data from another table however I get an error using an inner join. I am sure its something very stupid but having spent the best part of my day on this its time to ask for help.
If I do the following SELECT statement to test my inner join syntax works as it should
SELECT *
FROM polaracc_osrs_property_field_value
INNER JOIN polaracc_osrs_properties
ON polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.pro_id = polaracc_osrs_properties.id
WHERE polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.field_id =112
However when I then try and run an update statement using the price from one table to populate the 2nd I get the below error
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 'FROM polaracc_osrs_property_field_value INNER JOIN
polaracc_osrs_properties ' at line 3
The syntax used for the update statement is below
UPDATE polaracc_osrs_property_field_value
SET polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.value_integer = polaracc_osrs_properties.price
FROM polaracc_osrs_property_field_value
INNER JOIN polaracc_osrs_properties
ON polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.pro_id = polaracc_osrs_properties.id
WHERE polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.field_id = 112
Your join needs to happen before you set your values like this:
UPDATE polaracc_osrs_property_field_value
INNER JOIN polaracc_osrs_properties
ON polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.pro_id = polaracc_osrs_properties.id
SET polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.value_integer = polaracc_osrs_properties.price
WHERE polaracc_osrs_property_field_value.field_id = 112;
Hope this helps.
I have branch table , inventory table and item table. I want to retrieve item id, item name , qty (quantity) and branch name (branch_add).
SELECT tbl_item.item_name ,
tbl_inventory. tbl_item_item_ID , tbl_inventory.qty , tbl_branch.branch_add
FROM tbl_item,tbl_inventory ,tbl_branch
WHERE (tbl_inventory.tbl_item_item_ID = tbl_item.item_ID) JOIN (tbl_branch.branch_ID=tbl_inventory`.tbl_branch_branch_ID)
That is the code which I have wrote but it gives bellow error.
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 'join item_ID.tbl_item =
tbl_item_item_ID.tbl_inventory' at line 3
Could anyone please help me to solve this. And table will displayed on attached png.
You have a missing AND between your WHERE conditions:
select
tbl_branch_branch_ID.tbl_inventory
, item_name
from tbl_inventory
, tbl_item
, tbl_branch
where
branch_ID.tbl_branch=tbl_branch_branch_ID.tbl_i
and item_ID.tbl_item = tbl_item_item_ID.tbl_inventory;
Also, your JOIN conditions are a little bit off.
I think this is the query you're actually looking for:
select
t_inv.*
, t_itm.item_name
from tbl_inventory t_inv
inner join tbl_item t_itm on t_inv.t_item_item_id = t_itm.item_id
inner join tbl_branch t_br on t_br.branch_id = t_inv.tbl_branch_branch_id
Using explicit JOINs is much better and clearer for reading the code and also can result in improved code performance.
SELECT
tbl_item.item_name,
tbl_inventory.tbl_item_item_ID,
tbl_inventory.qty,
tbl_branch.branch_add
FROM
tbl_item,
tbl_inventory,
tbl_branch
WHERE
(
inner join tbl_item ON tbl_inventory.tbl_item_item_ID = tbl_item.item_ID
inner join branch_ID ON tbl_branch.branch_ID = tbl_inventory.tbl_branch_branch_ID
);
The above query gives syntax error.
