An SQL UPDATE statement changes the data of one or more records in a table. Either all the rows can be updated, or a subset may be chosen using a condition. The UPDATE statement has the following form:〔http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/update.html simplified from this page〕: UPDATE ''table_name'' SET ''column_name'' = ''value'' (''column_name'' = ''value ...'' ) (''condition'' )For the UPDATE to be successful, the user must have data manipulation privileges (UPDATE privilege) on the table or column and the updated value must not conflict with all the applicable constraints (such as primary keys, unique indexes, CHECK constraints, and NOT NULL constraints).In some databases, such as PostgreSQL, when a FROM clause is present, what essentially happens is that the target table is joined to the tables mentioned in the fromlist, and each output row of the join represents an update operation for the target table. When using FROM, one should ensure that the join produces at most one output row for each row to be modified. In other words, a target row shouldn't join to more than one row from the other table(s). If it does, then only one of the join rows will be used to update the target row, but which one will be used is not readily predictable.〔http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/sql-update.html〕 Because of this indeterminacy, referencing other tables only within sub-selects is safer, though often harder to read and slower than using a join. ==Examples== Set the value of column ''C1'' in table ''T'' to 1, only in those rows where the value of column ''C2'' is "a". In table ''T'', set the value of column ''C1'' to 9 and the value of ''C3'' to 4 for all rows for which the value of column ''C2'' is "a". Increase value of column ''C1'' by 1 if the value in column ''C2'' is "a". Prepend the value in column ''C1'' with the string "text" if the value in column ''C2'' is "a". Set the value of column ''C1'' in table ''T1'' to 2, only if the value of column ''C2'' is found in the sublist of values in column ''C3'' in table ''T2'' having the column ''C4'' equal to 0. One may also update multiple columns in a single update statement: Complex conditions and JOINs are also possible: Some databases allow the non-standard use of the FROM clause: Or on Oracle systems (assuming there is an index on classification.articleID): 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Update (SQL)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
