SELECT A.GRPNO, A.EMPNO, A.DEPNO, A.PENDCD FROM EMPDEP A, EEDPELIG B
WHERE A.GRPNO=B.GRPNO
AND A.EMPNO=B.EMPNO
AND A.DEPNO=B.DEPNO
AND A.GRPNO = 6606 AND A.SPOUSE = 'T'
AND B.ELIGFLAG01 = 'T' AND SNAPTHRUDT ='DEC312999'
Our selection statement has been successful at pulling the information we need however we're new with SQL and are struggling to create an update statement that is replacing the "a.pendcd=0" to "a.pendcd=20" from the information in the select statement. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
update a
a.pendcd=20
FROM EMPDEP A inner join EEDPELIG B
on A.GRPNO=B.GRPNO
AND A.EMPNO=B.EMPNO
AND A.DEPNO=B.DEPNO
AND A.GRPNO = 6606 AND A.SPOUSE = 'T'
AND B.ELIGFLAG01 = 'T' AND SNAPTHRUDT ='DEC312999'
where a.pendcd=0
Oracle does not support FROM or JOIN in UPDATE (under most circumstances).
Just use EXISTS:
UPDATE EMPDEP ed
SET . . .
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM EEDPELIG p
WHERE ed.GRPNO = p.GRPNO AND
ed.EMPNO= p.EMPNO AND
ed.DEPNO= p.DEPNO AND
p.ELIGFLAG01 = 'T'
)
ed.GRPNO = 6606 AND
ed.SPOUSE = 'T' AND
ed.SNAPTHRUDT ='DEC312999';
It is unclear if the condition on SNAPTHRUDT is on the outer table or inner table. If it is on p, then move it to the subquery.
You can use MERGE statement as following:
Lets assume EMPDEP table has primary key which is EMPDEP_UID.
MERGE INTO EMPDEP TRG
USING
(SELECT A.EMPDEP_UID, A.PENDCD
FROM EMPDEP A, EEDPELIG B
WHERE A.GRPNO=B.GRPNO
AND A.EMPNO=B.EMPNO
AND A.DEPNO=B.DEPNO
AND A.GRPNO = 6606
AND A.SPOUSE = 'T'
AND B.ELIGFLAG01 = 'T'
AND SNAPTHRUDT ='DEC312999') SRC
ON (TRG.EMPDEP_UID = SRC.EMPDEP_UID)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET TRG.PENDCD = 0
WHERE TRG.PENCD = 20;
You can use unique keys instead of primary key to identify the records to be updated. But it is safe to use primary key as unique key can contain nulls which can change the behaviour of our query.

My query is this. It is not showing error. But having a long execution time that Iam forced to close. Please check
update trans_rec a
set a.qty = (select b.qtydes from itbg_store_delchellan b where b.icode =
a.icode and a.controlno=b.DEL_NO AND A.controlno IS NOT NULL)
where exists
(select b.qtydes from itbg_store_delchellan b where b.icode = a.icode and
a.controlno=b.DEL_NO AND A.controlno IS NOT NULL )
You can re-write your query as follow:
UPDATE trans_rec a
SET a.qty =
(SELECT b.qtydes
FROM itbg_store_delchellan b
WHERE b.icode = a.icode and a.controlno=b.DEL_NO)
WHERE a.controlno IS NOT NULL
AND EXISTS
(SELECT b.qtydes FROM itbg_store_delchellan b
WHERE b.icode = a.icode AND a.controlno=b.DEL_NO)
After this you must add indexes on your field search, as follow:
add following filter on these fields
b.icode
a.controlno
a.icode
You may use a MERGE statement in Oracle.
MERGE INTO trans_rec t USING
( select DISTINCT icode,del_no,qtydes
FROM itbg_store_delchellan s
)
ON (
s.icode = t.icode AND t.controlno = s.del_no
)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET t.qty = s.qtydes
WHERE t.controlno IS NOT NULL
Try this update:
UPDATE A
SET qty = B.qtydes
from trans_rec AS A
INNER JOIN itbg_store_delchellan B
ON B.icode = A.icode
AND A.controlno=b.DEL_NO
AND A.controlno IS NOT NULL
To improve performance, create a composite index on itbg_store_delchellan:
create index idx_itbg_store_delchellan_3 on itbg_store_delchellan(icode, del_no, qtydes)
Note that the condition A.controlno IS NOT NULL is redundant. The correlation condition will already filter out NULL values, so you can remove this from both subqueries.
Basically, I want to do this:
update vehicles_vehicle v
join shipments_shipment s on v.shipment_id=s.id
set v.price=s.price_per_vehicle;
I'm pretty sure that would work in MySQL (my background), but it doesn't seem to work in postgres. The error I get is:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "join"
LINE 1: update vehicles_vehicle v join shipments_shipment s on v.shi...
^
Surely there's an easy way to do this, but I can't find the proper syntax. So, how would I write this In PostgreSQL?
The UPDATE syntax is:
[ WITH [ RECURSIVE ] with_query [, ...] ]
UPDATE [ ONLY ] table [ [ AS ] alias ]
SET { column = { expression | DEFAULT } |
( column [, ...] ) = ( { expression | DEFAULT } [, ...] ) } [, ...]
[ FROM from_list ]
[ WHERE condition | WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name ]
[ RETURNING * | output_expression [ [ AS ] output_name ] [, ...] ]
In your case I think you want this:
UPDATE vehicles_vehicle AS v
SET price = s.price_per_vehicle
FROM shipments_shipment AS s
WHERE v.shipment_id = s.id
Or if you need to join on two or more tables:
UPDATE table_1 t1
SET foo = 'new_value'
FROM table_2 t2
JOIN table_3 t3 ON t3.id = t2.t3_id
WHERE
t2.id = t1.t2_id
AND t3.bar = True;
The answer of Mark Byers is the optimal in this situation.
Though in more complex situations you can take the select query that returns rowids and calculated values and attach it to the update query like this:
with t as (
-- Any generic query which returns rowid and corresponding calculated values
select t1.id as rowid, f(t2, t2) as calculatedvalue
from table1 as t1
join table2 as t2 on t2.referenceid = t1.id
)
update table1
set value = t.calculatedvalue
from t
where id = t.rowid
This approach lets you develop and test your select query and in two steps convert it to the update query.
So in your case the result query will be:
with t as (
select v.id as rowid, s.price_per_vehicle as calculatedvalue
from vehicles_vehicle v
join shipments_shipment s on v.shipment_id = s.id
)
update vehicles_vehicle
set price = t.calculatedvalue
from t
where id = t.rowid
Note that column aliases are mandatory otherwise PostgreSQL will complain about the ambiguity of the column names.
Let me explain a little more by my example.
Task: correct info, where abiturients (students about to leave secondary school) have submitted applications to university earlier, than they got school certificates (yes, they got certificates earlier, than they were issued (by certificate date specified). So, we will increase application submit date to fit certificate issue date.
Thus. next MySQL-like statement:
UPDATE applications a
JOIN (
SELECT ap.id, ab.certificate_issued_at
FROM abiturients ab
JOIN applications ap
ON ab.id = ap.abiturient_id
WHERE ap.documents_taken_at::date < ab.certificate_issued_at
) b
ON a.id = b.id
SET a.documents_taken_at = b.certificate_issued_at;
Becomes PostgreSQL-like in such a way
UPDATE applications a
SET documents_taken_at = b.certificate_issued_at -- we can reference joined table here
FROM abiturients b -- joined table
WHERE
a.abiturient_id = b.id AND -- JOIN ON clause
a.documents_taken_at::date < b.certificate_issued_at -- Subquery WHERE
As you can see, original subquery JOIN's ON clause have become one of WHERE conditions, which is conjucted by AND with others, which have been moved from subquery with no changes. And there is no more need to JOIN table with itself (as it was in subquery).
For those actually wanting to do a JOIN you can also use:
UPDATE a
SET price = b_alias.unit_price
FROM a AS a_alias
LEFT JOIN b AS b_alias ON a_alias.b_fk = b_alias.id
WHERE a_alias.unit_name LIKE 'some_value'
AND a.id = a_alias.id;
You can use the a_alias in the SET section on the right of the equals sign if needed.
The fields on the left of the equals sign don't require a table reference as they are deemed to be from the original "a" table.
For those wanting to do a JOIN that updates ONLY the rows your join returns use:
UPDATE a
SET price = b_alias.unit_price
FROM a AS a_alias
LEFT JOIN b AS b_alias ON a_alias.b_fk = b_alias.id
WHERE a_alias.unit_name LIKE 'some_value'
AND a.id = a_alias.id
--the below line is critical for updating ONLY joined rows
AND a.pk_id = a_alias.pk_id;
This was mentioned above but only through a comment..Since it's critical to getting the correct result posting NEW answer that Works
Here we go:
update vehicles_vehicle v
set price=s.price_per_vehicle
from shipments_shipment s
where v.shipment_id=s.id;
Simple as I could make it.
To add something quite important to all the great answers above, when you want to update a join-table, you may have 2 problems:
you cannot use the table you want to update to JOIN another one
Postgres wants a ON clause after the JOIN so you cannot only use where clauses.
This means that basically, the following queries are not valid:
UPDATE join_a_b
SET count = 10
FROM a
JOIN b on b.id = join_a_b.b_id -- Not valid since join_a_b is used here
WHERE a.id = join_a_b.a_id
AND a.name = 'A'
AND b.name = 'B'
UPDATE join_a_b
SET count = 10
FROM a
JOIN b -- Not valid since there is no ON clause
WHERE a.id = join_a_b.a_id
AND b.id = join_a_b.b_id
a.name = 'A'
AND b.name = 'B'
Instead, you must use all the tables in the FROM clause like this:
UPDATE join_a_b
SET count = 10
FROM a, b
WHERE a.id = join_a_b.a_id
AND b.id = join_a_b.b_id
AND a.name = 'A'
AND b.name = 'B'
It might be straightforward for some but I got stuck on this problem wondering what's going on so hopefully, it will help others.
Here's a simple SQL that updates Mid_Name on the Name3 table using the Middle_Name field from Name:
update name3
set mid_name = name.middle_name
from name
where name3.person_id = name.person_id;
The link below has a example that resolve and helps understant better how use update and join with postgres.
UPDATE product
SET net_price = price - price * discount
FROM
product_segment
WHERE
product.segment_id = product_segment.id;
See: http://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-update-join/
First Table Name: tbl_table1 (tab1).
Second Table Name: tbl_table2 (tab2).
Set the tbl_table1's ac_status column to "INACTIVE"
update common.tbl_table1 as tab1
set ac_status= 'INACTIVE' --tbl_table1's "ac_status"
from common.tbl_table2 as tab2
where tab1.ref_id= '1111111'
and tab2.rel_type= 'CUSTOMER';
To UPDATE one Table using another, in PostGRE SQL / AWS (SQL workbench).
In PostGRE SQL, this is how you need to use joins in UPDATE Query:
UPDATE TABLEA set COLUMN_FROM_TABLEA = COLUMN_FROM_TABLEB FROM TABLEA,TABLEB WHERE FILTER_FROM_TABLEA = FILTER_FROM_TABLEB;
Example:
Update Employees Set Date_Of_Exit = Exit_Date_Recorded , Exit_Flg = 1 From Employees, Employee_Exit_Clearance Where Emp_ID = Exit_Emp_ID
Table A - Employees Columns in Table A - Date_Of_Exit,Emp_ID,Exit_Flg Table B is - Employee_Exit_Clearance Columns in Table B - Exit_Date_Recorded,Exit_Emp_ID
1760 rows affected
Execution time: 29.18s
--goal: update selected columns with join (postgres)--
UPDATE table1 t1
SET column1 = 'data'
FROM table1
RIGHT JOIN table2
ON table2.id = table1.id
WHERE t1.id IN
(SELECT table2.id FROM table2 WHERE table2.column2 = 12345)
The first way is slower than the second way.
First:
DO $$
DECLARE
page int := 10000;
min_id bigint; max_id bigint;
BEGIN
SELECT max(id),min(id) INTO max_id,min_id FROM opportunities;
FOR j IN min_id..max_id BY page LOOP
UPDATE opportunities SET sec_type = 'Unsec'
FROM opportunities AS opp
INNER JOIN accounts AS acc
ON opp.account_id = acc.id
WHERE acc.borrower = true
AND opp.sec_type IS NULL
AND opp.id >= j AND opp.id < j+page;
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
END; $$;
Second:
DO $$
DECLARE
page int := 10000;
min_id bigint; max_id bigint;
BEGIN
SELECT max(id),min(id) INTO max_id,min_id FROM opportunities;
FOR j IN min_id..max_id BY page LOOP
UPDATE opportunities AS opp
SET sec_type = 'Unsec'
FROM accounts AS acc
WHERE opp.account_id = acc.id
AND opp.sec_type IS NULL
AND acc.borrower = true
AND opp.id >= j AND opp.id < j+page;
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
END; $$;
WORKS PERFECT!!!
POSTGRE SQL - UPDATE With a JOIN
BELOW CODE - Check the positioning of columns and IDs as below:
If you place it exactly as below, then only it will work!
---IF you want to update FIRST table
UPDATE table1
SET attribute1 = table2.attribute1
FROM table2
WHERE table2.product_ID = table1.product_ID;
OR
---IF you want to update SECOND table
UPDATE table2
SET attribute1 = table1.attribute1
FROM table1
WHERE table1.product_ID = table2.product_ID;
UPDATE temp_test
SET country_i = (select a.country_code from temp_test2 a,temp_test c
where c.country_i is null and
a.active = 'A' and c.created_by = a.partner_by)
You could use a MERGE statement. It is easy to understand.
MERGE INTO temp_test t
USING temp_test2 u
ON (t.created_by = u.partner_by)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET
t.country_i = u.country_code
WHERE t.country_i IS NULL
AND u.active = 'A';
UPDATE temp_test c SET country_i = (select a.country_code from temp_test2 a where a.active = 'A' and c.created_by = a.partner_by) where c.country_i is null;
In my mind it should work...
I'm trying to migrate some tables into an existing table, I need to perform the updates only where DET_ATTACHMENT_ID equals DET_ATTACHMENT.ID, here's the query I have so far.
UPDATE DET_ATTACHMENT
SET attachment_type = 'LAB', -- being added by the query, to replace the table difference
payer_criteria_id = (
SELECT PAYER_CRITERIA_ID
FROM DET_LAB_ATTACHMENT
WHERE DET_LAB_ATTACHMENT.DET_ATTACHMENT_ID = DET_ATTACHMENT.ID)
WHERE exists(
SELECT DET_ATTACHMENT_ID
FROM DET_ATTACHMENT
JOIN DET_LAB_ATTACHMENT ON (ID = DET_ATTACHMENT_ID)
WHERE DET_ATTACHMENT_ID = DET_ATTACHMENT.ID
the problem with the existing query is that it's setting every row to have an attachment_type of "LAB", and nulling out the payer_criteria_id where it didn't match. What am I doing wrong?
The problem might be that your exists(...) predicate always evaluates to true, thus making the update run for all rows of det_attachment. Try it this way:
UPDATE DET_ATTACHMENT X
SET X.attachment_type = 'LAB',
X.payer_criteria_id = (
SELECT C.PAYER_CRITERIA_ID
FROM DET_LAB_ATTACHMENT C
WHERE C.DET_ATTACHMENT_ID = X.ID
)
WHERE
exists(
SELECT 1
FROM DET_ATTACHMENT A
JOIN DET_LAB_ATTACHMENT B
ON B.DET_ATTACHMENT_ID = A.ID
where B.det_attachment_id = X.id
)
;
