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
)
Im trying to change some records in my database but sadly my sql knowledge is a bit limited. After googling and reading stuff online I have managed to write a select statement in which i can find the records that I want to update but i dont understand the logic to write the update statement to do it. I have to make several similar update statements so I hope this one I can figure out the rest myself
This is the select statement I have:
SELECT
MG.id,
MG.status,
MG.fin,
MG.execDateTime,
EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM Mtask T
JOIN MTaskHis TH ON TH.t_id= T.id
WHERE T.tg_id = MG.id
AND YEAR(TH.dateTime) = 2019
) AS hasExecStart,
NMG.id,
NMG.execDateTime,
EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM Mtask T
JOIN MTaskHis TH ON TH.t_id = T.id
WHERE T.tg_id = NMG.id
AND YEAR(TH.dateTime) = 2019
) AS hasExecNext
FROM Management_Group MG
JOIN MT_Groupman MTGM ON
MG.tgm_id = MTGM.id
LEFT JOIN Management_Group NMG ON MTGM.id =
NMG.tgm_id AND YEAR(NMG.execDateTime) = 2019
JOIN Management_Man MM ON MTGM.man_id = MM.id
JOIN Location L ON MM.location_id = L.id
WHERE L.org_id = 69
AND MG.stat != 'DELETED'
AND YEAR(MG.execDateTime) = 2018
AND MM.Type= 9
AND MG.fin != 1
AND EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM Mtask T
WHERE T.tg_id = MG.id
AND T.stat = 'execution'
)
HAVING hasExecNext = 0 AND hasExecStart = 1
I know standard updates in sql:
UPDATE <TABLENAME>
SET <fieldName> = <value>
WHERE <conditons>
Except I do not know how to convert this select statement I have made into an update statement, reason for that is:
- Where do I put the exist alias in the update statement
- I also dont understand when or where to put all the JOINS in the from statement
- What about the HAVING
What is the best way to do joined updates like this?
In an UPDATE you can join the table you want to update to a sub-query that contains your current query.
UPDATE YourTable t
JOIN
(
<< add your query here >>
) q ON q.SomeKeyField = t.SomeKeyField
SET t.FieldName = q.FieldNameFromSubquery,
t.OtherFieldName = q.OtherFieldNameFromSubquery
I am trying to performing update operation on value which meet certain criteria. My tables CAPD, CAMP, CAD. But I get error of

You cannot use the target table which you are updating inside the
subquery. You need to use the JOIN in case you want to use it -- First
answer by #Rahul Tripathi
You have to try this query then you need to set SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES
SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0;
UPDATE CAPD
INNER JOIN CAD ON ( CAD.Id = CAPD.Deploy_Id)
SET CAPD.Is_Active = 1
WHERE CAPD.Per_Id IN (
SELECT CAMP.Id
FROM CAMP
WHERE CAMP.Serial = "ABC1230071"
)
AND BINARY CAD.Access_Id = "486579446F6E277-4436F6E7665727449742E2E4C-4F4C203A5020584F586F";
SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=1;
You cannot use the target table which you are updating inside the subquery. You need to use the JOIN in case you want to use it. Try like this:
UPDATE CAPD
INNER JOIN CAD ON ( CAD.Id = CAPD.Deploy_Id)
SET CAPD.Is_Active = 1
WHERE CAPD.Per_Id IN (SELECT CAMP.Id
FROM CAMP
WHERE CAMP.Serial = "ABC1230071" )
and CAD.Access_Id = "486579446F6E277-4436F6E7665727449742E2E4C-4F4C203A5020584F586F"
and CAPD.Is_Active = 0
I have 2 tables, CARS and ORDERS.
Both have a mileage column, but the ORDERS table mileage column is blank on most rows.
I'd like to update the ORDERS.mileage with CARS.mileage. They are linked by a Vrm column.
Can someone help me with this query?
UPDATE orders
SET Mileage = (SELECT *
FROM `orders`
JOIN cars ON orders.Vrm = cars.Vrm
WHERE orders.mileage = '')
Use a JOIN in the UPDATE's FROM clause, rather than trying to use a subquery. Otherwise, you basically have the right idea.
UDPATE
orders
JOIN CARS ON orders.Vrm = cars.VRM
SET orders.Mileage = cars.mileage
WHERE orders.mileage = ''
Query 1:
UPDATE orders
SET Mileage = (SELECT c.mileage
FROM cars c
WHERE orders.Vrm = c.Vrm)
WHERE o.mileage = ''
Query 2:
UPDATE orders o
JOIN cars c ON o.Vrm = c.Vrm
SET o.Mileage = c.mileage
WHERE o.mileage = ''
Some sqlfidleexample
According MySQL documentation, you should use this:
UPDATE orders, cars
SET orders.Mileage = cars.mileage
WHERE orders.Vrm = cars.Vrm AND orders.mileage = ''
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.
