The SQL UPDATE Statement
The UPDATE
statement is used to modify the existing records in a table.
UPDATE Syntax
UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2, ... WHERE condition;
Note: Be careful when updating records in a table! Notice the
clause in the
WHEREUPDATE
statement. The WHERE
clause specifies which record(s) that should be updated. If you omit the WHERE
clause, all records in the table will be updated!
