Hi all i have been writing a query and it is driving me crazy because it is giving me syntax error for ''
my query is
UPDATE test1 SET result =
CASE WHEN formula = "p1+p2" THEN 2
the error is here on line 2
any help is highly appreciated.
A case should always have an end:
UPDATE test1
SET result = (CASE WHEN formula = 'p1+p2' THEN 2 END);
This sets result to either "2" or NULL. You probably want:
UPDATE test1
SET result = 2
WHERE formula = 'p1+p2';
As a general rule, use single quotes for string constants. This is the ANSI standard.

I intend to do:
EXECUTE('UPDATE tableA SET campaignkey = ''20170101'' where storekey = 16
and campaignkey LIKE ''%,%''') at MYLINKEDSERVER
but I get the error that:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; [...] for the right syntax to use near 'where storekey = 16 and campaignkey LIKE '%,%''
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? To me it seems like I might have one ' too many on my LIKE statement, but I have Always used '' to indicate a non-numeric value. I don't want to fiddle with this to prevent updating far too many values on this server.
campaignkey is non-numeric (I Believe varchar) and storekey is integer.
Edit
I must not use OPENQUERY() because it is not set up correctly, and this is a urgent update.
Edit 2
Seems like it is because of apostrophes 's in the EXECUTE statement.
When I conduct:
select * from openquery(linkedserver,'Select * from tableA where storekey = 16
and campaignkey = ''20170826,151''')
it works, but when using:
EXECUTE('Select * from tableA where storekey = 16
and campaignkey = ''20170826,151''') at linkedserver
I get the error that I need to check the manual by the where clause. From googling it appears however that the correct syntax in fact is:
EXECUTE('UPDATE TableX SET StringVar = ''stringValue'' WHERE intVar = 3
AND stringVar = ''xxxxx''') AT LinkedServer
I don't know why this won't work for me.. I have tried many combinations of '', '" etc.
What about this one?
update openquery(linkedserver,'Select * from tableA where storekey = 16
and campaignkey = ''20170826,151''')
set campaignkey = '20170101'
I tried running this sql
UPDATE table
SET read = 1
WHERE col1_id = 2
AND col3_id = 1;
and it return an error (error in your sql syntax)
#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 'read = 1 WHERE team_notification_id = 2 AND listener_id = 1' at line 1
But when I used thesame WHERE and AND :), in a SELECT statement no error was returned.
SELECT *
FROM read
WHERE col1_id = 2
AND col3_id = 1
please what did I do wrong, I am no seeing it.
After keyword UPDATE there should be a table name. If your table has actually name table (that's a bit strange) you should escape it to let MySQL know it's not a keyword "table" but actual table name.
The same thing is about read.
Both table and read are MySQL keywords (the full list is here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/keywords.html) so if it's your actual table and column names then you should escape it.
Better to escape all table and column names to prevent issues like that.
Escaping in MySQL is done with backtick symbol ` so your query will looks like:
UPDATE `table`
SET `read` = 1
WHERE `col1_id` = 2
AND `col3_id` = 1;
UPDATE tablename
SET `field_name` = 1
WHERE col1_id = 2
AND col3_id = 1;
UPDATE table
SET [read] = 1
WHERE col1_id = 2
AND col3_id = 1;
I have a SQL query. But that contains a where condition, and the OR in that where is not working.
Query
SELECT `st_student`.`st_id`, `ab_date`, `as_date` `st_status`
FROM (`st_student`)
WHERE `st_status` = 1
OR `st_status` = 2
AND `ab_date` BETWEEN '08/01/2015' AND '08/31/2015'
OR `as_date` BETWEEN '08/01/2015' AND '08/31/2015'
AND `aca_no` = 2
GROUP BY `st_student`.`st_id`
This condition is not working:
OR `as_date` BETWEEN '08/01/2015' AND '08/31/2015'
Is there any mistake in that?
One possible error concerns the use of the AND and OR operators, since AND has priority over OR, and your query can be interpreted in the wrong way. So you should use the parentheses, and write something like this:
SELECT `st_student`.`st_id`, `ab_date`, `as_date` `st_status`
FROM `st_student`
WHERE (`st_status` = 1 OR `st_status` = 2)
AND (`ab_date` BETWEEN '08/01/2015' AND '08/31/2015'
OR `as_date` BETWEEN '08/01/2015' AND '08/31/2015')
AND `aca_no` = 2
GROUP BY `st_student`.`st_id`
In case that your columns are declared as a varchar datatype you will need to use str_to_date function. Varchar cannot be compared as a date unless you convert it to one. Try this and let me know. Best of luck.
SELECT `st_student`.`st_id`, `ab_date`, `as_date` `st_status`
FROM `st_student`
WHERE (`st_status` = 1 OR `st_status` = 2)
AND STR_TO_DATE(`ab_date`,'%d/%m/%Y')
BETWEEN
STR_TO_DATE('01/08/2015','%d/%m/%Y')
AND
STR_TO_DATE('31/08/2015','%d/%m/%Y')
OR
STR_TO_DATE(`as_date`,'%d/%m/%Y')
BETWEEN
STR_TO_DATE('01/08/2015','%d/%m/%Y')
AND
STR_TO_DATE('31/08/2015','%d/%m/%Y')
AND `aca_no` = 2
GROUP BY `st_student`.`st_id`
I had the following code:
select DB.T1.ID,
DB.T1.B,
DB.T1.C,
DB.T2.ID,
DB.T2.B,
DB.T2.R,
DB.T3.ID,
DB.T3.Q
DB.T1.DUP,
DB.T2.DUP,
DB.T3.DUP
from DB.T1, DB.T2, DB.T3
where DB.T1.id = DB.T2.ID
and DB.T1.id = DB.T3.ID
and DB.T2.id = DB.T3.id
and DB.T1.DUP = 'not_duplicate'
and DB.T2.DUP = 'not_duplicate'
and DB.T3.DUP = 'not_duplicate'
;
The output returned 0 rows, however. So, I changed the values of the "DUP" column in each table from duplicate/not_duplicate instead to 0/1. I tried this code and it worked:
select DB.T1.ID,
DB.T1.B,
DB.T1.C,
DB.T2.ID,
DB.T2.B,
DB.T2.R,
DB.T3.ID,
DB.T3.Q
DB.T1.DUP,
DB.T2.DUP,
DB.T3.DUP
from DB.T1, DB.T2, DB.T3
where DB.T1.id = DB.T2.ID
and DB.T1.id = DB.T3.ID
and DB.T2.id = DB.T3.id
and DB.T1.DUP = 1
and DB.T2.DUP = 1
and DB.T3.DUP = 1
;
The second code works perfectly, the first one returned 0 rows. Does anyone know why was this happening? The values "not_duplicate" and "duplicate" were the exact same strings as the csv's that I imported into the database from. I can't explain why this would be the case and I'm really pretty curious.
Thanks very much!
because the DUP column they dont have this not_duplicate in fields. they have 1
then it doesnt match your query .
the query returns values which are stored in the column DUP .
I have three tables in a mysql database . Deseasetype(DTID,TypeName) , Symptom(SID, SymptomName, DTID) , Result(RID, SID1, SID2, SID3, result).1st two table, i think is clear enough.
In result table: there will be combination's of symtoms and any values of SymID1/ SymID2/ SymID3 can be null. here i send a picture of the table result.
I want to input some symptom and output will be the result from the 'Result' table.
For that i wrote this query:
$query = "select Result from result where (result .SID1= '$symptom1') AND (result.SID2= '$symptom2' ) AND (result.SID3 = '$symptom3')";
This work only when three symptom's have value. but if any of the symptom's are null, then no result found. May be the query should be more perfect.
**please avoid any syntax error in my writing.
That's because you are comparing NULL to an empty string, and they aren't equal. You could try this instead:
SELECT Result
FROM symptom
WHERE IFNULL(symptom.SID1, '') = '$symptom1'
AND IFNULL(symptom.SID2, '') = '$symptom2'
AND IFNULL(symptom.SID3, '') = '$symptom3'
Notes:
You need to correctly escape the values of $symptom1, $symptom2 and $symptom3.
This won't efficiently use indexes.
As mark pointed out, the query is eventually falling down to compare with null if you are not escaping the null.
Or you can slightly change your logic to show a empty symptom with value '0' and then using the coalesce function you can easily build your query.
Does this work?
$query = "select Result from result
where (result.SID1 = '$symptom1' OR result.SID1 IS NULL) AND
(result.SID2 = '$symptom2' OR result.SID2 IS NULL) AND
(result.SID3 = '$symptom3' OR result.SID3 IS NULL)";
