Re: UPDATE (SELECT ) is not working................

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

     Sorry  it is not 'database' ,but 'table' . I followed the syntax given 

UPDATE table_name SET(columns) FROM (SELECT columns FROM table_2) AS som-val WHERE condition;

And I tried it in psql command line as

my_db=# update test set id=g.id2 from (select id2 from test2)as g ;
 UPDATE 0

where my_db is the database I created.

regards
archana

Your SQL does not do what you think it does.

You should probably test your SQL at the psql command line to figure out
the correct way to do what you want to do before you try and post to a
PHP mailing list about this kind of thing.

I'd offer advice, but I can't figure out from your statement what you're
trying to do your database either.

Cheers,
                                        Andrew.
