MySQL update case help

Question

Can anybody tell me how to fix this query?

update ae44
set Price = Case
when ID = \'AT259793380\' then \'500\'
when ID = \'AT271729590\' then \'600\'
when ID         


        

Answer 1

UPDATE ae44 SET
    Price = CASE
    WHEN ID = 'AT259793380' THEN '500'
    WHEN ID = 'AT271729590' THEN '600'
    WHEN ID = 'AT275981020' THEN '700'
    ELSE Price END

Or you can use WHERE:

UPDATE ae44 SET
    Price = CASE
    WHEN ID = 'AT259793380' THEN '500'
    WHEN ID = 'AT271729590' THEN '600'
    WHEN ID = 'AT275981020' THEN '700'
    END
WHERE 
    ID IN ('AT259793380', 'AT271729590', 'AT275981020')

And set the LIMIT is good idea too:

UPDATE ae44 SET
    Price = CASE
    WHEN ID = 'AT259793380' THEN '500'
    WHEN ID = 'AT271729590' THEN '600'
    WHEN ID = 'AT275981020' THEN '700'
    END
WHERE 
    ID IN ('AT259793380', 'AT271729590', 'AT275981020')
LIMIT 3

Answer 2

I'm assuming this is a mysql query. You can use the first query that Quassnoi posted and just add

WHEN ID THEN price

as the last "WHEN". This will prevent all of your price fields from being set to null

UPDATE  ae44
    SET price =
    CASE
    WHEN ID = 'AT259793380' THEN '500'
    WHEN ID = 'AT271729590' THEN '600'
    WHEN ID = 'AT275981020' THEN '700'
    WHEN ID THEN price
    END

Answer 3

UPDATE  ae44
SET     price =
        CASE
        WHEN ID = 'AT259793380' THEN
                '500'
        WHEN ID = 'AT271729590' THEN
                '600'
        WHEN ID = 'AT275981020' THEN
                '700'
        END

Note than this query will update prices for the records with other ids to NULL.

If you only want to update only ids from your list, use this:

UPDATE  ae44
JOIN    (
        SELECT  'AT259793380' AS oldval, '500' AS newval
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  'AT271729590' AS oldval, '600' AS newval
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  'AT275981020' AS oldval, '700' AS newval
        ) q
ON      ae44.id = q.oldval
SET     price = q.newval

Answer 4

Remove the second "case" and it will work:

UPDATE ae44
SET Price = (CASE
WHEN ID = 'AT259793380' THEN '500'
WHEN ID = 'AT271729590' THEN '600'
WHEN ID = 'AT275981020' THEN '700'
END)

Answer 5

You can try a simple query like:

UPDATE `table`
SET Price = ELT(field(ID,'AT259793380','AT271729590','AT275981020'), '500', '600', '700')
WHERE ID IN ('AT259793380','AT271729590','AT275981020')

Answer 6

update ae44
set Price = 
Case ID
when 'AT259793380' then '500'
when 'AT271729590' then '600'
when 'AT275981020' then '700'
end case
