I have a table named "employee". The table creation code is as follows:
create table employee(name varchar(50),ph_no varchar(10),e_id varchar(5),pay_scale varchar(5),year varchar(4));
The contents of the table are as follows:
insert into employee(name,ph_no,pay_scale,year) values('AMIT','123456','PL-10','2019'); insert into employee(name,ph_no,pay_scale,year) values('AMIT','123456','PL-10','2020'); insert into employee(name,ph_no,pay_scale,year) values('AMIT','123456','PL-11','2021'); insert into employee(name,ph_no,pay_scale,year) values('AMIT','123456','PL-11','2022'); +------+--------+------+-----------+------+ | name | ph_no | e_id | pay_scale | year | +------+--------+------+-----------+------+ | AMIT | 123456 | NULL | PL-10 | 2019 | | AMIT | 123456 | NULL | PL-10 | 2020 | | AMIT | 123456 | NULL | PL-11 | 2021 | | AMIT | 123456 | NULL | PL-11 | 2022 | +------+--------+------+-----------+------+
Now I want to update 'e_id', first it will check if there is the same e_id in the table, if it is not in the table then it will only update the row with the given e_id, otherwise it will not update. So my upgrade query is as follows:
update employee set e_id='0132' where concat_ws(',',name,ph_no,pay_scale)=concat_ws(',','AMIT','123456','PL-10') and not exists (select e_id from employee group by e_id having count(*)>=1);
But it gives the following error:
Error 1093 (HY000): You cannot specify the target table "employee" to update in the FROM clause I have tried the following query:
update employee set e_id='0132' where concat_ws(',',name,ph_no,pay_scale)=concat_ws(',','AMIT','123456','PL-10') and e_id not in (select e_id from (select e_id from employee group by e_id having count(*)>=1) as t);
But this also fails to update the table and displays the following results:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) 匹配的行:0 更改:0 警告:0
Also tried the following code:
update employee set employee.e_id='0132' where employee.e_id not in (select * from (select f.e_id from employee f inner join employee b on b.name=f.name and b.ph_no=f.ph_no and b.pay_scale=f.pay_scale) as tmp) and employee.name='AMIT' and employee.ph_no='123456' and employee.pay_scale='PL-10';
But this also fails to update the table and gives the following results: Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 seconds) Matched lines: 0 Changes: 0 Warnings: 0 please help. Thank you in advance.
NULL
plays differently than some people expectNOT IN
: https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=mysql_8.0&fiddle=24c176ff4d4e2c52309aaca14cc121c5 So just askWHERE e_id IS NOT NULL
in the sub. Also,HAVING COUNT(*) >= 1
can be removed since it always returns a value of 1 or more...https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=mysql_8.0&fiddle=2a0b036a7d1db9138e3ab29af3d346f8 一个>
