To update data in a table in SQL, you can use the UPDATE
statement. Here is an example of how to update the salary of all employees to 50000: SQL-Update Query
UPDATE employees
SET salary = 50000;
You can also update specific rows based on a condition using a WHERE
clause:
UPDATE employees
SET salary = 55000
WHERE age > 30;
This will update the salary of all employees whose age is greater than 30 to 55000.
You can also update multiple columns at once:
Example: SQL-Update Query
UPDATE employees
SET salary = 55000, age = age + 1;
This will update the salary of all employees to 55000 and increase their age by 1.
You can also update a column based on the value of other columns using the SET
clause:
Example: SQL – Update Query
UPDATE employees
SET salary = salary * 1.1
WHERE age > 30;
This will increase the salary of all employees whose age is greater than 30 by 10%.
You can also update a table based on a select statement:
Example:
UPDATE employees
SET salary = (SELECT salary FROM employees_backup WHERE employees_backup.id = employees.id);
This will update the salary of all employees based on the salary column of the employees_backup table, where the id of the employees_backup table matches the id of the employees table.
Please note that you need to have appropriate permissions to update data in a table, otherwise you will get an error message.
