Update Statement :: Data From One Table To Other
I have two tables, and I want to take data from one table, and overwrite it onto the second. Unfortunately, my SQL is pretty weak.
The first table has a mediumtext column and a id (primary key) column. The second has an id (the same as the first), a number, and a mediumtext column.
I want to take the contents of the mediumtext field with the highest number and replace the contents of the field in the first column with it with the same id.
My instinct is to do it this way:
update forum1post p
set p.pagetext = (select query1.message
from (select pe.message, max(pe.editnum)
from forum1post_edits pe
group by p.postid) query1)
where p.pagetext = 'Why did you all flame my topic. Screw your ****ing forums.'
and p.postid = pe.postid
However, that does not work, as pe is not recognized.

Update Whole Table With Unique Data Per Row
This is my first post and I am fairly new to MySQL and PHP. I need to update an entire column of data with a column of data from another table. Each row is a price attached to a specific product. When I do an Update/Select, I get an error saying more than one row is being returned. Is there a way to do this using MYSQL alone, or do I need to use PHP and and a loop with individual inserts per row?

UPDATE Query With Getting Data From Another Table?
is it possible to use UPDATE command with getting data from another table. I have two tables: base1.table1 with COUNTRY_NAME, ID_NUMBER base2.table2 with COUNTRY_NAME, LINK I need to get value of ID_NUMBER from base1.table1 (about 300 rows) and UPDATE base2.table2. So, I need to copy values of ID_NUMBER to LINK. I wonder is it possible to do just with one query or I will need to write PHP parser to do this job?

Update One Table With Data From Another That Has Multiple Returns
I have a query that works but it takes extraordinary amounts of time to run and I'm sure there's got to be a better way. I haven't touched sql in many years and I just can't remember the proper way to do this. Table 1 has a column that I need to fill from table 2. Table 2 has multiples of the requested data. There are about 303 records in table2 that meet the >0 criteria but only 44 distinct values that I need to retrieve. col1 in both tables is the matching index. What I have so far is: update table1 a set a.col2 = (select b.col2 from table2 b where a.col1=b.col1 and b.col2>0 group by b.col1) I also tried limit 1 instead of group by but there was no difference in execution time (which is about 5 updates in 10 minutes!)

Update Column Data Based On Another Table
I've got 2 tables: 'city' that list over 2000000 rows and 'profile' where each row are associated to a city. What I want to do is to update cities popularities based on profile without having to scan the hole 2000000 rows of 'city'. So is it possible to make those 2 query in one so I do not need to do a php loop: SELECT city, COUNT(city) FROM profile GROUP BY city; then UPDATE city SET popularity = COUNT(city) WHERE city.city_id = profile.city

Data Insertion/Update Form Different Tables Into On Table
I have 3 tables say Employees, Benefits, Employee_Benefit_Mapping. These tables are something like this: Employee: ======== Employee_Id Name Dept_Id . . Benefits: ========= Benefit_Id Benefit Name . . Employee_Benefit_Mapping: ========================= Mapping_Id Employee_Id Benefit_Id Its a many to many relation. Hence the mapping table. Now the situation and question is: ==================================== Every employee "In a certain Dept" is eligible for some benefits by default. How can add these records with one (or minimum) insert statement(s) rather than going employee by employee? Insert into Employee_Benefit_Mapping ((Select Employee_Id from Employee where Dept_Id = xx), (Select Benefits_Id from Benefits where Benefit_Id in(xx, yy))) Will this work to insert all the data into the mapping table?

Update A Table With Data From Another Table
I have two tables with similar data. The firs table contains data that is to be updated with data from the second table. The first table (tblA) has a unique key, but the second table (tblB) does not. I have to use the 'lastname', 'firstname' and 'dept' fields that are in both tables and join the tables on those three fields. I have tried: update tblA, tblB set tblA.empPty=tblB.empPty where ((tblA.empLName=tblB.empLName) and (tblA.empFName=tblB.empFName) and (tblA.empDept=tblB.empDept)); with some test data where I know I have a match using the three fields, but nothing gets updated.

Update With If Statement
I'm trying a statement which I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong on. I've tried every combination that I can think of and stared myself blue with no success. update cdr set Cost=if(mod(BillSec,6)=0,int(BillSec/6),int(BillSec/6)+1) The idea is to update Cost with a value depending on the result of a formula. It's an empty field which gets a computed value from other fields. cdr is the table.

Conditional Update Statement
I have a table with a field of ID numbers. I want to update this field and replace the ID numbers. For example I want every record that currently has the ID number 2,5,6,or 9 to be replaced with a 1. Every record with 1 or 4 to be replaced with 2 ... I can't seem to form the update statement to do this. I can do them one at a time but this won't work because if I change 2,5,6, and 9 to 1 then when I run then update for 1 and 4 it will change them all. Does this make any sense? I want some way to be able to use a condition...if id=2 or 4 or 6 set it to 1 and if id= 1 or 4 set it to 2. My failed attempt: mysql> update client_software set software_id=1 WHERE (software_id=2 or software_id=5 or software_id=6 or software_id=9) AND software_id=2 WHERE (software_id=3 or software_id=7 or software_id=8) AND software_id=3 WHERE (software_id=1 or software_id=4);

CASE Statement In Update Command
I'm trying to update one table (tbl_usage) based on information from another table (tbl_subscriptions) joined by the userID. The usage table tracks the number of times a user hits a page, and decrements the count each time. When the user has a zero count, they are redirected to a warning page. Each week the count is reset depending on what type of license they have (licenseType) and how many of those licenses they've bought (numLicenses). A group license (G) gives them 100 hits, and an individual license (I) gives them 5 hits. I'm trying to use a case statement to perform this count reset operation, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Help With Simple SQL Statement To Update Zipcodes

MYSQL Statement Not Returning Data...
Is there something I am doing wrong in the following query: SELECT * FROM 'photos' WHERE approval='NULL' ORDER BY 'reg_date' ASC LIMIT $page, $limit". It doesn't seem to target the approval field in the photos table in which all current values are NULL... or am I targeting NULL incorrectly? The field is a tinyint(1) so it can be 0 for NO, 1 for YES, or NULL so that I can target photos that have not been checked yet. It runs fine but returns no results when it should return all current rows in the table.

How Do I Select Data From Two Tables In A Single Statement?
This is a very basic question. I have two tables, say "users" and "purchases": purchases: order_id, order_user_id, items, date users: user_id, username, email What I want to accomplish is to compose a single query that will include the user data along with the purchase information. Something like: SELECT order_id, order_user_id, items FROM purchases WHERE date = 3/12/09 and then translate the order_user_id into user data, so that I would get a final result of an array of rows where each row would include: order_id, username, email, items Is this accomplished by a JOIN statement and how is the result code written (PHP).

Using The Load Data Infile Statement With Auto_increment Columns
I have been working with mysql's load file functionality, and encountered trouble when inserting both an auto_incremented (PK) field and some data in other columns. Say I have a table with columns like this: type_id int not null primary key auto_increment, type_name text not null I can create a list of type_names in a text file and insert them into the table via a load data statement just fine. When it comes to the type_id field, I have to add the id values to the text file to get mysql to insert anything. It seems like there should be a way for the database to do this automatically. Is this a problem with 1- my table type? I have tested both myisam and innodb tables with no noticable change in result. 2- the way I am using the load statement syntax? 3- the way mydatabase is set up?
