2006/9/19, Peter Van Dijck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi all,
trying to figure out if there is a query I can use for this, or if I
have to write a php script to loop tru each row...

table1:
entryid int(11)
itemid int(11)

table2:
object_id int(11)
....

The situation is: table2.objectid is populated with the values of
table1.itemid, but they have to be replaced with the corresponding
table1.entryid.

I could do in PHP:
- select * from table2
- for each row, update table2 with select from table1

but I am wondering if there is 1 query that could take care of this?

Peter

something like :
update table2,table1 set table2.objectid=table1.itemid where
table1.entryid=table2.objectid

you need 4.0 at least IIRC.
