Hello people,
I am trying to run this query:
UPDATE table1, table2 SET table1.periode = table.periode WHERE
table1.id = 3 AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( table1.name, '.', - 1 ) =
table2.name
But i keep getting the same error message
You have an error in your SQL syntax near '
table2 SET table1.periode = table2.periode WHERE table1.id = 3 AND
SUBSTRIN' at line 1
Is it possible to use a SUBSTRING_INDEX in a update query, or what i
am i doing wrong?
That's not what the error message is telling you. It's complaining about
the second table name prior to the SET keyword. My guess is that your
version of MySQL is not recent enough to support multiple-table updates
(which were implemented around 4.0.2 or so). What version is your server?
Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time
Best regards,
Davy Obdam
