Update column value PostgreSQL

Question

I am trying to update the value of a column where it matches a certain userid, but it keeps giving a syntax error.

UPDATE user 
   SET balance =         


        

Answer 1

Try "user", or give a more generic name:

UPDATE "user" 
 SET balance = 15000.000000000 
 WHERE id = 11203;

or ALTER your table name to "user_list" for example. Any doubt, please check keywords

Answer 2

You need to escape user since it is a reserved word. Try

UPDATE "user"
SET balance = 15000.000000000 
WHERE id = 11203;
