I should be able to figure this out, but I'm puzzled. Here's a simplified
example:
UPDATE a JOIN b ON a.kb = b.kb JOIN c ON b.kc = c.kc
SET a.f1 = NOW(),
b.f2 = NOW()
WHERE c.f3 IN ('x', 'y', 'z')
AND b.f4 = 'yen';
It seems to me that if there are 3 rows found in `c` that match a total of 10
rows in `a` that each, in turn, matches 1 row in `b`, then the total number of
qualifying would be 10 + 10 -> 20.
That should also be the number of rows changed.
Somehow the numbers reported by MySQL don't seem to match up in my real case,
even though the results seem to be what I want. The numbers reported were way
too high, and I don't understand it.
I can supply more information, if necessary, but have I gone off the rails
somehow?
