UPDATE mytable SET myvalue = myvalue-1 WHERE some_condition -----Original Message----- From: Gil G. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 10:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to decrement int field?
Hello, I would really appreciate some help on this, thanks! I have a colomn with days_left, an integer. I have to write a Perl script to run on a cron job once a day and decrement all the fields in that column by 1. Is there a query to do this?
