A tiny mysql question
 

It's late and my brain simply stopped working. I want to sleep but need to finish this so who helps me going to bed....


I need a rather simple command to perform with MYSQL.
Its looks simple.

I have 2 tables in the same database.
table 1 is named= A
table 2 is named= B

In table 1 we have a column called "views"
In table 2 we have a column called "enabled"

Basically. If enabled = 0 then views should be updated to 0

I tried something like this
UPDATE content_views
SET views = 0 ,
WHERE CONTENT.ENABLED = 0

which obviously did not worked.

You're missing the "INNER JOIN" and the "ON":
MySQL - Join and Update Values From Another Table

UPDATE content_views
SET views = 0
WHERE CONTENT.ENABLED = 0
LEFT JOIN content ON content_views.shared_column_name = content.shared_column_name

Something like this

Eventually, this did the trick..

UPDATE A AS t1
INNER JOIN B AS t2
ON t1.content = t2.record_num
SET t1.views = 0
WHERE t2.enabled = 0;

It needed an extra value that was similar in both databases to get this working. (A.content=B.record_num)
