wait, let's make it even more interesting :) what if you want to update more than one row, and each row should have a successive new id. is that possible in one statement?
i tried just removing the where statement in barons suggestion, which fails as i guess the select is computed only once prior to being used in the update/set. mysql> update test set id = (select id + 1 from ( select max(id) as id from test ) as x); ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '424' for key 1 is it possible, or do i have to do the rows one by one? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
