I'm trying to update the unit_price in a sales_order_parts detail table with calculation from the applied_discount field from sales_orders. Also, the price is in the master_part_list table as price. When I run from the select statement down, it runs fine and returns the list of values from order_number 209 with the correct calculation. When I run it complete from the update line, it returns "Error Code: 1093. You can't specify target table 'sop' for update in FROM clause" Any ideas?
update sales_order_parts as sop
set unit_price =
(select (master_part_list.price * (1-(so.applied_discount/100)))
from sales_orders as so
inner join sales_order_parts as sop2
on so.id = sop2.order_id
inner join master_part_list
on sop2.part_id = master_part_list.id
where so.order_number = 209);
You could try with a join without subquery
update sales_order_parts as sop
INNER JOIN sales_orders as so on so.id = sop.order_id
AND so.order_number = 209
inner join master_part_list on sop.part_id = master_part_list.id
SET sop.unit_price = master_part_list.price * (1-(so.applied_discount/100))
Use a subquery for sales_order_parts. mysql then treats as new temporary table
Like
update sales_order_parts as sop
set unit_price =
(select (master_part_list.price * (1-(so.applied_discount/100)))
from sales_orders as so
inner join (SELECT * FROM sales_order_parts) as sop2
on so.id = sop2.order_id
inner join master_part_list
on sop2.part_id = master_part_list.id
where so.order_number = 209);
I fired this query where I join two tables and output some of the columns of both tables:
SELECT B.option_id, B.product_id, A.title, B.identifier
FROM `catalog_product_option_title` A JOIN
`catalog_product_option` B
ON A.option_id = B.option_id
WHERE A.title = "Breite"
Result:
Now I need to enter the example value xyz on the column identifier in the result, everywhere. I would go ahead and do this by hand.
How can I make use of the update statement from MySQL to solve this without having to manually change it by hand?
I tried it like this:
UPDATE `catalog_product_option`
SET identifier = 'xyz'
WHERE option_id IN (
SELECT A.option_id
FROM `catalog_product_option_title` A
JOIN
`catalog_product_option` B
ON A.option_id = B.option_id
WHERE A.title = "Breite"
)
But the simulation of this query returned that this would change 0 lines.
UPDATE
I called the sql without simulating it, and now I get this error:
1093 - Table 'catalog_product_option' is specified twice, both as a target for 'UPDATE' and as a separate source for data
You could rewrite your query as a JOIN:
UPDATE `catalog_product_option` B
JOIN `catalog_product_option_title` A ON A.option_id = B.option_id
SET B.identifier = 'xyz' WHERE A.title = "Breite"
Can you try like this please?
UPDATE `catalog_product_option`
SET identifier = 'xyz'
WHERE option_id IN (
SELECT option_id FROM (SELECT A.option_id
FROM `catalog_product_option_title` A
JOIN
`catalog_product_option` B
ON A.option_id = B.option_id
WHERE A.title = "Breite") as x
)
I'm trying this:
select
audit_log_entries.created_at,
audit_log_orig_term_types.name as originator,
audit_log_orig_term_types.name as terminator
from audit_log_entries
join audit_log_orig_term_types on audit_log_entries.originator_type_id = audit_log_orig_term_types.id
join audit_log_orig_term_types on audit_log_entries.terminator_type_id = audit_log_orig_term_types.id;
I think the intent is clear, I want both names for the originator and terminator. I have their IDs in the first table and the names on the other table.
I am getting an error from this: ERROR 1066 (42000): Not unique table/alias: 'audit_log_orig_term_types'
where's the mistake in the syntax?
You can make like this :
select
audit_log_entries.created_at,
audit1.name as originator,
audit2.name as terminator
from audit_log_entries
join audit_log_orig_term_types audit1 on audit_log_entries.originator_type_id = audit1.id
join audit_log_orig_term_types audit2 on audit_log_entries.terminator_type_id = audit2.id;
You need to alias the tables:
join audit_log_orig_term_types AS alias1 on audit_log_entries.originator_type_id = alias1.id
^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
join audit_log_orig_term_types AS alias2 on audit_log_entries.terminator_type_id = alias2.id;
Use an alias for the joined tables:
Join table1 as t1 on t1.Id = [...]
I need to update multiple records in a table based upon the sum of some values in another table. Here is my query:
UPDATE aallinnot2 c SET c.Energ_Kcal = ( SELECT d.id1, SUM( c.Energ_Kcal)
FROM aaingred a
LEFT JOIN aaweight b ON a.unit = b.uni
LEFT JOIN aallinnot2 c ON a.mfdfsds = c.NDB_No
LEFT JOIN aalinfsds d ON a.fsdsnum = d.id1
WHERE d.own_id =42
GROUP BY id1 )
WHERE c.NDB_No
IN ( SELECT DISTINCT `fsdsnum`
FROM `aaingred`
WHERE `usernum` LIKE '42'
)
MySQL said:
#1093 - You can't specify target table 'c' for update in FROM clause
Unfortunately, I don't know how to get my values without referencing target table 'c'! Is there a workaround for this?
With the crazy table/column names and indecipherable logic, this might be the ugliest query I have ever seen. Congrats. :)
I think the following should work (or this approach). The main problem was untangling the group-by expression-- you need to give the database engine a dataset where each row in the target table is joined to a set that contains the updated value for that row. So here, select the new values in a sub-query, then join that sub-query to the original table.
EDIT Fixed some syntax
UPDATE
(
SELECT d.id1, SUM (c.Energ_Kcal) AS Sum_Energ_Kcal
FROM aaingred a
LEFT JOIN aaweight b ON a.unit = b.uni
LEFT JOIN aallinnot2 c ON a.mfdfsds = c.NDB_No
LEFT JOIN aalinfsds d ON a.fsdsnum = d.id1
WHERE d.own_id =42
GROUP BY id1
) d
,aaingred a, aallinnot2 d
SET Energ_Kcal = d.Sum_Energ_Kcal
WHERE d.id1 = a.fsdsnum
AND a.mfdfsds = aallinnot2.NDB_No
AND c.NDB_No IN (
SELECT DISTINCT `fsdsnum`
FROM `aaingred`
WHERE `usernum` LIKE '42'
);
I'm not sure about mysql, but with SQL Server the statement would be something like this:
UPDATE aallinnot2
SET Energ_Kcal = (
SELECT SUM( c.Energ_Kcal)
FROM aaingred a
LEFT JOIN aaweight b ON a.unit = b.uni
LEFT JOIN aallinnot2 c ON a.mfdfsds = c.NDB_No
LEFT JOIN aalinfsds d ON a.fsdsnum = d.id1
WHERE d.own_id =42)
WHERE c.NDB_No
IN ( SELECT DISTINCT `fsdsnum`
FROM `aaingred`
WHERE `usernum` LIKE '42')
You can't alias the table to be updated in the UPDATE clause, but you can in the FROM clause.
I need to check (from the same table) if there is an association between two events based on date-time.
One set of data will contain the ending date-time of certain events and the other set of data will contain the starting date-time for other events.
If the first event completes before the second event then I would like to link them up.
What I have so far is:
SELECT name as name_A, date-time as end_DTS, id as id_A
FROM tableA WHERE criteria = 1
SELECT name as name_B, date-time as start_DTS, id as id_B
FROM tableA WHERE criteria = 2
Then I join them:
SELECT name_A, name_B, id_A, id_B,
if(start_DTS > end_DTS,'VALID','') as validation_check
FROM tableA
LEFT JOIN tableB ON name_A = name_B
Can I then, based on my validation_check field, run a UPDATE query with the SELECT nested?
You can actually do this one of two ways:
MySQL update join syntax:
UPDATE tableA a
INNER JOIN tableB b ON a.name_a = b.name_b
SET validation_check = if(start_dts > end_dts, 'VALID', '')
-- where clause can go here
ANSI SQL syntax:
UPDATE tableA SET validation_check =
(SELECT if(start_DTS > end_DTS, 'VALID', '') AS validation_check
FROM tableA
INNER JOIN tableB ON name_A = name_B
WHERE id_A = tableA.id_A)
Pick whichever one seems most natural to you.
UPDATE
`table1` AS `dest`,
(
SELECT
*
FROM
`table2`
WHERE
`id` = x
) AS `src`
SET
`dest`.`col1` = `src`.`col1`
WHERE
`dest`.`id` = x
;
Hope this works for you.
Easy in MySQL:
UPDATE users AS U1, users AS U2
SET U1.name_one = U2.name_colX
WHERE U2.user_id = U1.user_id
If somebody is seeking to update data from one database to another no matter which table they are targeting, there must be some criteria to do it.
This one is better and clean for all levels:
UPDATE dbname1.content targetTable
LEFT JOIN dbname2.someothertable sourceTable ON
targetTable.compare_field= sourceTable.compare_field
SET
targetTable.col1 = sourceTable.cola,
targetTable.col2 = sourceTable.colb,
targetTable.col3 = sourceTable.colc,
targetTable.col4 = sourceTable.cold
Traaa! It works great!
With the above understanding, you can modify the set fields and "on" criteria to do your work. You can also perform the checks, then pull the data into the temp table(s) and then run the update using the above syntax replacing your table and column names.
Hope it works, if not let me know. I will write an exact query for you.
UPDATE
receipt_invoices dest,
(
SELECT
`receipt_id`,
CAST((net * 100) / 112 AS DECIMAL (11, 2)) witoutvat
FROM
receipt
WHERE CAST((net * 100) / 112 AS DECIMAL (11, 2)) != total
AND vat_percentage = 12
) src
SET
dest.price = src.witoutvat,
dest.amount = src.witoutvat
WHERE col_tobefixed = 1
AND dest.`receipt_id` = src.receipt_id ;
Hope this will help you in a case where you have to match and update between two tables.
I found this question in looking for my own solution to a very complex join. This is an alternative solution, to a more complex version of the problem, which I thought might be useful.
I needed to populate the product_id field in the activities table, where activities are numbered in a unit, and units are numbered in a level (identified using a string ??N), such that one can identify activities using an SKU ie L1U1A1. Those SKUs are then stored in a different table.
I identified the following to get a list of activity_id vs product_id:-
SELECT a.activity_id, w.product_id
FROM activities a
JOIN units USING(unit_id)
JOIN product_types USING(product_type_id)
JOIN web_products w
ON sku=CONCAT('L',SUBSTR(product_type_code,3), 'U',unit_index, 'A',activity_index)
I found that that was too complex to incorporate into a SELECT within mysql, so I created a temporary table, and joined that with the update statement:-
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE activity_product_ids AS (<the above select statement>);
UPDATE activities a
JOIN activity_product_ids b
ON a.activity_id=b.activity_id
SET a.product_id=b.product_id;
I hope someone finds this useful
UPDATE [table_name] AS T1,
(SELECT [column_name]
FROM [table_name]
WHERE [column_name] = [value]) AS T2
SET T1.[column_name]=T2.[column_name] + 1
WHERE T1.[column_name] = [value];
You can update values from another table using inner join like this
UPDATE [table1_name] AS t1 INNER JOIN [table2_name] AS t2 ON t1.column1_name] = t2.[column1_name] SET t1.[column2_name] = t2.column2_name];
Follow here to know how to use this query http://www.voidtricks.com/mysql-inner-join-update/
or you can use select as subquery to do this
UPDATE [table_name] SET [column_name] = (SELECT [column_name] FROM [table_name] WHERE [column_name] = [value]) WHERE [column_name] = [value];
query explained in details here http://www.voidtricks.com/mysql-update-from-select/
You can use:
UPDATE Station AS st1, StationOld AS st2
SET st1.already_used = 1
WHERE st1.code = st2.code
For same table,
UPDATE PHA_BILL_SEGMENT AS PHA,
(SELECT BILL_ID, COUNT(REGISTRATION_NUMBER) AS REG
FROM PHA_BILL_SEGMENT
GROUP BY REGISTRATION_NUMBER, BILL_DATE, BILL_AMOUNT
HAVING REG > 1) T
SET PHA.BILL_DATE = PHA.BILL_DATE + 2
WHERE PHA.BILL_ID = T.BILL_ID;
I had an issue with duplicate entries in one table itself. Below is the approaches were working for me. It has also been advocated by #sibaz.
Finally I solved it using the below queries:
The select query is saved in a temp table
IF OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#New_format_donor_temp', N'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #New_format_donor_temp;
select *
into #New_format_donor_temp
from DONOR_EMPLOYMENTS
where DONOR_ID IN (
1, 2
)
-- Test New_format_donor_temp
-- SELECT *
-- FROM #New_format_donor_temp;
The temp table is joined in the update query.
UPDATE de
SET STATUS_CD=de_new.STATUS_CD, STATUS_REASON_CD=de_new.STATUS_REASON_CD, TYPE_CD=de_new.TYPE_CD
FROM DONOR_EMPLOYMENTS AS de
INNER JOIN #New_format_donor_temp AS de_new ON de_new.EMP_NO = de.EMP_NO
WHERE
de.DONOR_ID IN (
3, 4
)
I not very experienced with SQL please advise any better approach you know.
Above queries are for MySql server.
if you are updating from a complex query. The best thing is create temporary table from the query, then use the temporary table to update as one query.
