MYSQL :: UPDATE Syntax Error

MySQL Update Syntax Error
I am currently developing a simple content management system for my personal website hosted at waynegrills.co.uk and have stepped into a trench full of water with no rope to help me out, if you get what I mean, this error keeps on popping up what is wrong with the following code?

if(isset($_GET['changeorder']))
{
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value)
{
if (substr($key, 0, 6) == "order|")
{
$orderid = substr($key, 6);
$query = "UPDATE pages SET order = '$value' WHERE id = '$orderid' LIMIT 1";
mysql_query($query)
or die("The coder FUCKED up - SQL Error: ".mysql_error());
}
}
}

Blob Update In Perl DBI Gives Syntax Error
I have a Perl app that stores pictures in a blob. Now I want to load a
thumbnail version of the picture into another blob column, but the update
fails with a syntax error. I'm able to insert the new record, with blobs,
into a separate table, but can't update the original record. Is it not
possible to update blobs?

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 'orange' WHERE `ID` = '11128'' At Line 1
I am getting this error message everytime I run my php script....
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 'orange' WHERE `ID` = '11128'' at line 1

It seems that there is a limit on the where syntax. I don't know how to fix it, and it's a very big problem for me.

My task is to insert 1million values into mysql table with a php foreach loop. If I insert aprox. 10.000 values, this error don't come, but any numer over will give my mysql error.

Create Table Error. #1064 - You Have An Error In Your SQL Syntax; Check The Manual That Corresponds
I have been trying to create two tables with the SQL below. I have the SQL in file and tried to import it to PhpMysqlAdmin in my control panel. The wierd thing is that the first table gets created while the second one is not created and error is thrown instead. The error message is

Help With Update Syntax
This is a fairly common task, but for some reason I'm blanking and haven't had any luck with the manual.

What I want is a query that tries to update a record on a table, or if the record doesn't exist it inserts it.

Is there a single query way to accomplish that?

Update Syntax Help
I am UPDATING a profile table based on $id and $company_id.

$id = 10
$company_id = 500

profile:
p_id, company_id, client_id
10,50,100
20,40,80
30,60,120

My update statement looks like this..

PHP

UPDATE profile SET company_id = '$company_id' WHERE p_id = '$id'";
UPDATE profile SET company_id = ò“' WHERE p_id = ཆ'";

But I have another table I need to update called user2company which has records than correspond to the user table. These records in user table doesnt change.

user:
increment_id,profile_id,login_id,password
1,10,joe,pass1
2,10,mary,pass2
3,20,sam,pass3
4,30,bill,pass4

user.profile_id is linked to profile.p_id

user2company:
id, company_id
1,50
2,50
3,40
4,60

user2company.ID is linked to user.increment_id

Now how to I update my user2company.company_id when my profile.company_id changes for only the condition p_id = 10?

Final result:

profile:
id, company_id, client_id
10,500,100
20,40,80
30,60,120

user2company:
id, company_id
1,500
2,500
3,40
4,60
I tried an UPDATE syntax but what happens is that all of my records in user2company.company_id changes to 500

Update Syntax
I have an autoincrement table with about 32 columns. (mysql5) The first column is the auto incrmenting index. I need to retrieve a row from the table, update multiple fields in the row and write the row back to the table with the same index. I have read the manual but (newbie) don't understand how to do this.

UPDATE Syntax
I'm having problem with an UPDATE syntax. I want to update 2 fields from a certain record in a table. The following syntax works:

UPDATE items SET price='30' WHERE num='1'

BUT When I try to update 2 fields using the following syntax I get an error saying that my syntax is wrong.

UPDATE items SET desc='cheese',price='30' WHERE num='1'

What's wrong with it?

UPDATE Syntax
I am running Apache version : Apache/1.3.33 (Win32), PHP version : 5.0.4 and MySQL version : 4.1.10a-nt - extension : mysqli on my home computer.

When I execute the following SQL it works fine.
UPDATE places SET places_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM joins WHERE joins.pid = places.pid)

However, when I try to run it on my hosted site which uses Apache version : Apache/1.3.33 (Unix), PHP version : 4.3.11 and MySQL version : 4.0.25 I get the following error.

UPDATE Syntax
What if I use UPDATE blablabla WHERE blablabla but there actually isnÂ´t a row in the table that would fit the WHERE statement? Does it just ignore it or does it screw it up?

Also if i use the same syntax and there is a lot of records that fit the WHERE statement, how can I limit it so that it only updates one row.

I am having some trouble with an update query:

update mytable set field_a='test', field_b='test2' where uid=(select uid from mytable where time='09:00' and field_a is NULL order by uid limit 1)

I get the error Quote: You can't specify target table 'mytable' for update in FROM clause I can understand why I get this error but what can I do to fix this?
Here's what I am trying to do:
I have a table to sign up people and there can be 3 entries per timeslot. In the beginning, the table has entries for each time slot with field_a and field_b set to NULL. When a user signs up for a time, I want to put them into the first available slot for that time.

Update Syntax
I am trying to figure out a way to use mysqldump (table is too big for phpmyadmin) or another means to dump a file. Within the file, I don't want the insert syntax. What I would like to find out how to do is basically update each record (except for the field in the table that counts clicks) and then insert the records that are not in the database already.
I need this in a file format because I upload the file to my server after building the 1 million record DB locally.

UPDATE Syntax Check
Can someone check this for syntax errors because I it won't execute without an error:

Update Syntax For Version 3.23.58
I wanted to do a simple update like this in version 3.23.58 of MySql:

Update CLI, TEMP set CLI.ORN = TEMP.C WHERE CLI.ID = TEMP.CLI_ID;

Turns out you can not.

What is going on here and what are my alternatives?

Update Syntax For Mysql
I would like to request for your expertise. I have here an update statement which updates the table1 columns(not all columns) from the values in table2. Table1 has 20 records and Table2 has only 14 records. Like I said, I want to update the 14 records in table1 from the 14 records in table2.

here is my update statement:

Bulk Update Syntax
I heard many times about bulk update, can anyone show me an example of how to do it?

UPDATE Syntax Creating New Row And Id#
I'm using the UPDATE syntax, based on the MySQL documentation:

UPDATE table SET col1 = value1,
col2 = value2
WHERE id = 1

* the id column is set as an auto-increment index in the MySQL setup.

I want it to update/edit the row where id = 1
BUT instead, it's adding a new row with another id # with the col1 and col2 data (not quite updating the row, eh?).

Correct Syntax For An Update
two databases, one has an out of date email field.
I need the new table to update the email field on the old table.

My query selects the rows with the wrong email address:
select * FROM `oldtable` , `newtable` WHERE oldtable.memberid = newtable.memberid and oldtable.Email != newtable.email

but how do I update it?
update`oldtable`set oldtable.Email = newtable.email where oldtable.memberid = newtable.memberid

My above query fails.

Mysql Update Syntax
I am using mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386)
I have problem with the following syntax:

Update t1, t2
set t1.id = t2.id where t1.name = t2.tname OR t1.code = t2.tcode;

I am trying to update the value of id in t1 using t2 attributes where the conditions fit in.

ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE Syntax
I have two tables with identical columns. I want to update records in tbl1 with record information from tbl2.Code:

INSERT INTO tbl1 SELECT * FROM tbl2 ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE SET tbl1.col=tbl2.col, tbl1.col2=tbl2.col2

I seem to be missing something here...

MySQL Error, #1064 - You Have An Error In Your SQL Syntax.

Simple Question About UPDATE Syntax
I have an INSERT query that looks like this :

insert into student(student_id, student_name, school_id)
values(&#55619;&#56447;','CHAN, DAVID',Ƌ');
Am I able to create a similar query for UPDATE? Something like

update student set(student_name, school_id) where student_id = 5
values(&#55617;&#56524;','Kelly, Ned');
I wish to achieve a query where the new values are seperate from the query. Seeing as I cant find this anywhere online and I get errors when I test it, I am supposing not. If anyone could tell me for sure, I'd appreciate it!

Update Syntax For Multiple Columns
I'm looking for a feature I'm accustomed to with other SQL products, whereby multiple columns can be updated with a single SET clause, e.g.:

UPDATE tab1 SET (col1, col2, col3) = (SELECT col4, col5, col6 FROM tab2 WHERE tab2.col1 = tab1.col1);

I don't see this feature documented for MySQL. Is there a way to accomplish it?

Dumping File With Using Update Syntax

"ERROR 1064 (42000): You Have An Error In Your SQL Syntax " When Trying To Import Backup
Just upgraded to the latest version of mySQL. Before I did that, I did a full backup of all tables using the Administrator tool. Now when I try to do a restore, I get the message in the subject. Even if I copy-paste the SQL code into the command line client, I get the error. For example, I use this code:

Sometimes the query works fine, sometimes it doesn't. I've tracked a few and looked at which record they hung on, but nothing obvious.
