How do I append a character to all items `purchase_id' here is a manual example of what I want...
SELECT *
FROM `loadable_link`
WHERE `product_sku` = '2101-R'
ORDER BY `customer_id` DESC
Then select from purchased_id and append a '0' to all purchased ID's
UPDATE `loadable_link` SET `purchased_id` = '11165690'
WHERE `loadable_link`.`purchased_id` = 1116569;
You can update the table according to the condition in the original select statement.
If purchase_id is a number, you can multiply it by 10:
UPDATE `loadable_link`
SET `purchase_id` = `purchase_id` * 10
WHERE `product_sku` = '2101-R'
If purchase_id is a string, you can concatenate a 0 to it:
UPDATE `loadable_link`
SET `purchase_id` = CONCAT(`purchase_id`, '0')
WHERE `product_sku` = '2101-R'
UPDATE `loadable_link`
SET `purchased_id` = CONCAT(`purchased_id`, "0")
WHERE `product_sku` = "2101-R";
This can be achieved in one UPDATE query, take the original value of each row and CONCAT() to append a 0 to the end of the existing purchase_id.
How can the following be performed in a single query?
UPDATE clients SET online=0 WHERE id NOT IN(4,5,8,10,12) AND id>=2 AND id<=15 AND parentId=123;
UPDATE clients SET online=1 WHERE id IN(4,5,8,10,12) AND id>=2 AND id<=15 AND parentId=123;
You can use CASE .. WHEN statement:
UPDATE clients
SET online = CASE WHEN id IN(4,5,8,10,12)
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
WHERE
id BETWEEN 2 AND 15 AND parentId = 123;
IN(..) is a Logical/Comparison function. So you can do the following (in MySQL only) as well:
UPDATE clients
SET online = (id IN(4,5,8,10,12))
WHERE
id BETWEEN 2 AND 15 AND parentId = 123;
Update myTable SET field = 1 (if field = 0 or if field is null) where myid = 12345;
Update myTable SET field = 0 (if field = 1) where myid = 12345;
What is the best way to transform this Pseudocode in proper SQL for Oracle and MySQL?
You could simply use the modulo like this:
UPDATE myTable SET field = (field + 1) % 2 WHERE myId = 12345;
Due to the lack of a real boolean in both DBMS you need a case statement:
update myTable
set the_column = case when the_column = 1 then 0 else 1 end
where myId = 12345;
This assumes that the column never has different values than 0 and 1
I am trying to understand how to UPDATE multiple rows with different values and I just don't get it. The solution is everywhere but to me it looks difficult to understand.
For instance, three updates into 1 query:
UPDATE table_users
SET cod_user = '622057'
, date = '12082014'
WHERE user_rol = 'student'
AND cod_office = '17389551';
UPDATE table_users
SET cod_user = '2913659'
, date = '12082014'
WHERE user_rol = 'assistant'
AND cod_office = '17389551';
UPDATE table_users
SET cod_user = '6160230'
, date = '12082014'
WHERE user_rol = 'admin'
AND cod_office = '17389551';
I read an example, but I really don't understand how to make the query. i.e:
UPDATE table_to_update
SET cod_user= IF(cod_office = '17389551','622057','2913659','6160230')
,date = IF(cod_office = '17389551','12082014')
WHERE ?? IN (??) ;
I'm not entirely clear how to do the query if there are multiple condition in the WHERE and in the IF condition..any ideas?
You can do it this way:
UPDATE table_users
SET cod_user = (case when user_role = 'student' then '622057'
when user_role = 'assistant' then '2913659'
when user_role = 'admin' then '6160230'
end),
date = '12082014'
WHERE user_role in ('student', 'assistant', 'admin') AND
cod_office = '17389551';
I don't understand your date format. Dates should be stored in the database using native date and time types.
MySQL allows a more readable way to combine multiple updates into a single query. This seems to better fit the scenario you describe, is much easier to read, and avoids those difficult-to-untangle multiple conditions.
INSERT INTO table_users (cod_user, date, user_rol, cod_office)
VALUES
('622057', '12082014', 'student', '17389551'),
('2913659', '12082014', 'assistant','17389551'),
('6160230', '12082014', 'admin', '17389551')
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
cod_user=VALUES(cod_user), date=VALUES(date)
This assumes that the user_rol, cod_office combination is a primary key. If only one of these is the primary key, then add the other field to the UPDATE list.
If neither of them is a primary key (that seems unlikely) then this approach will always create new records - probably not what is wanted.
However, this approach makes prepared statements easier to build and more concise.
UPDATE table_name
SET cod_user =
CASE
WHEN user_rol = 'student' THEN '622057'
WHEN user_rol = 'assistant' THEN '2913659'
WHEN user_rol = 'admin' THEN '6160230'
END, date = '12082014'
WHERE user_rol IN ('student','assistant','admin')
AND cod_office = '17389551';
You can use a CASE statement to handle multiple if/then scenarios:
UPDATE table_to_update
SET cod_user= CASE WHEN user_rol = 'student' THEN '622057'
WHEN user_rol = 'assistant' THEN '2913659'
WHEN user_rol = 'admin' THEN '6160230'
END
,date = '12082014'
WHERE user_rol IN ('student','assistant','admin')
AND cod_office = '17389551';
To Extend on #Trevedhek answer,
In case the update has to be done with non-unique keys, 4 queries will be need
NOTE: This is not transaction-safe
This can be done using a temp table.
Step 1: Create a temp table keys and the columns you want to update
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp_table_users
(
cod_user varchar(50)
, date varchar(50)
, user_rol varchar(50)
, cod_office varchar(50)
) ENGINE=MEMORY
Step 2: Insert the values into the temp table
Step 3: Update the original table
UPDATE table_users t1
JOIN temp_table_users tt1 using(user_rol,cod_office)
SET
t1.cod_office = tt1.cod_office
t1.date = tt1.date
Step 4: Drop the temp table
In php, you use multi_query method of mysqli instance.
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS _num FROM test;
INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES (1);
SELECT COUNT(*) AS _num FROM test; ";
$mysqli->multi_query($sql);
comparing result to transaction, insert, case methods in update 30,000 raw.
Transaction: 5.5194580554962
Insert: 0.20669293403625
Case: 16.474853992462
Multi: 0.0412278175354
As you can see, multiple statements query is more efficient than the highest answer.
Just in case if you get error message like this:
PHP Warning: Error while sending SET_OPTION packet
You may need to increase the max_allowed_packet in mysql config file.
UPDATE Table1 SET col1= col2 FROM (SELECT col2, col3 FROM Table2) as newTbl WHERE col4= col3
Here col4 & col1 are in Table1. col2 & col3 are in Table2 I Am trying to update each col1 where col4 = col3 different value for each row
I did it this way:
<update id="updateSettings" parameterType="PushSettings">
<foreach collection="settings" item="setting">
UPDATE push_setting SET status = #{setting.status}
WHERE type = #{setting.type} AND user_id = #{userId};
</foreach>
</update>
where PushSettings is
public class PushSettings {
private List<PushSetting> settings;
private String userId;
}
it works fine
Although there are many questions similar to this, such as
"Updating a record from another table", but i could not get this working.
I have a query that selects and updates table sem_stdexamfinresmark. The select subquery returns multiple rows of data whose size may not be equal to the table being updated, but the update is now working.
The query looks like :
update sem_stdexamfinresmark sr,
(select
se.currsession,
str.studentid,
str.classid,
str.subjectid,
str.aggScore*(select gbtp.percentage from gb_termpercentage gbtp where gbtp.termname = se.examtype)/100 as aggPer,
str.aggGrade
from
sem_stdexamtermresr str,
sem_exam se
where
str.examid=se.examid and
se.examtype = 'Second Term' and
se.currsession =1 and classid='8'
) s
set
sr.SecondTermMark = s.aggPer and
sr.SecondTermGrade = s.aggGrade
where
sr.studentid=s.studentid and
sr.subjectid=s.subjectid and
s.currsession = s.currsession and
sr.classid='8';
EDIT:
update sem_stdexamfinresmark
set
sr.SecondTermMark = s.aggPer and
sr.SecondTermGrade = s.aggGrade
from
(select
se.currsession,
str.studentid,
str.classid,
str.subjectid,
str.aggScore*(select gbtp.percentage from gb_termpercentage gbtp where gbtp.termname = se.examtype)/100 as aggPer,
str.aggGrade
from
sem_stdexamtermresr str,
sem_exam se
where
str.examid=se.examid and
se.examtype = 'Second Term' and
se.currsession = 1 and classid='8'
) s
where
sr.studentid=s.studentid and
sr.subjectid=s.subjectid and
s.currsession =1 and
sr.classid='8';
select * from sem_exam;
update sem_exam set currsession =1;
try something that looks more like:
update foo
set col = bar.col
from bar
where ...
This is what happens when one loses sleep :( I just did a silly mistake here and added "and"
