[snip] So the question is not, if a multi table update should be implemented serialized. The answer is clear: yes it should. The question is, on which data the subsequent updates should work. [/snip]
It should work on the data specified in the update query. Each set statement is isolated and the join applies to the set statement at hand. update t2, t1, t0 set t2.value=IF(t1.value='foo', 1, 0) <--updates based on these conditions && join , t1.value='bar' <--updates based on these conditions && join , t0.value=IF(t1.value='bar', 5, 2) <--updates based on these conditions && join WHERE t2.id = t1.id AND t1.id = t0.id <-- all updates based on these conditions Now, there was a bug that pointed out earlier concerning joins in multi-table updates, but this has been fixed in version 4.1.x ^ I may not be understanding you still, my apologies if not. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
