I'm trying to do a fairly simple update of one column from one table to the same column in another.
I have two tables:
container (id, barcode_1, location)
test(id, barcode_1, location)
Both tables are exactly the same except for the barcode_1 column. I want to update container.barcode_1 with the values from test.barcode_1 on all matching ids.
This is the code I'm using:
update container
set container.barcode_1 = test.barcode_1
FROM container INNER JOIN test ON container.id = test.id;
When I run that code, I get this error:
Error Code: 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 container INNER JOIN test ON container.id = test.id' at line 3
Any ideas one why this might be failing?
Your UPDATE syntax is wrong here. It should be
update container
INNER JOIN test ON container.id = test.id
set container.barcode_1 = test.barcode_1;
(OR) Using table alias
update container c
INNER JOIN test t ON c.id = t.id
set c.barcode_1 = t.barcode_1;

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'm trying to delete multiple rows from multiple tables having the same condition but will always return syntax error.
This is the code:
DELETE FROM table1,table2,table3
WHERE guid = 'CE4EF453-937F-C7F9-7AE429VB0128'
The error code is:
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 'WHERE guid = 'CE4EF453-937F-C7F9-7AE429VB0128'' at line 2
You are missing INNER JOINs. Something like the following perhaps.
DELETE FROM table1,table2,table3
USING table1 INNER JOIN table2 INNER JOIN table3
WHERE table1.guid = 'CE4EF453-937F-C7F9-7AE429VB0128'
AND table2.guid = table1.guid
AND table3.guid = table1.guid
(Reference)
Give this one a shot:
DELETE FROM table1,table2,table3
WHERE table1.guid = 'CE4EF453-937F-C7F9-7AE429VB0128'
AND table1.guid = table2.guid
AND table1.guid = table3.guid
