You need to specify which row to update. Start with ROW=0 for random in `pwgen` do let ROW=$ROW+1 echo "update dump set random= '$random' WHERE countid=$ROW"|mysql -uroot insert done Untested, but a quick check of how to do math in shell will help. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

updating/altering each field on a table
Im trying to work on a program that can update each field and insert a random value on it. But when i run this program it only updates the whole random field. Can anyone help me? Im pretty clueless how to work this right. :/ ### #!/bin/sh -x for random in `pwgen --no-capitalize -N1` do sleep 0 done echo $random for update in $random do echo "update dump set random= '$random' limit 1"|mysql -uroot insert done ## end of script ### -- Louie Miranda http://www.axishift.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
