I am new to mysql. I am trying to do a simple update query to update a
field based on the contents of another field in the same table.
Here is what I have.
update inventory_items set name = "necklace" where description like
"%necklace%";
I am not sure what is wrong. select * from inventory_items where
description like "%necklace%"; works just fine. I cannot find much
online to help me out with this.
To summarize, I need to update the name field to "necklace" when the
word necklace shows up anywhere in the description field.
Thanks.
