Syntax

  • The basic syntax of the UPDATE query with a WHERE clause is as follows
UPDATE table_name

WHERE [condition];

Example

  • Consider the WIKITECHY_CUSTOMERS table having the following records −
ID NAME AGE ADDRESS SALARY
1 Ramesh 32 Ahmedabad 2000.00
2 Khilan 25 Delhi 1500.00
3 kaushik 23 Kota 2000.00
4 Chaitali 25 Mumbai 6500.00
5 Hardik 27 Bhopal 8500.00
6 Komal 22 MP 4500.00
7 Muffy 24 Indore 10000.00
  • The following query will update the ADDRESS for a customer whose ID number is 6 in the table.
SQL> UPDATE CUSTOMERS
SET ADDRESS = 'Pune'
WHERE ID = 6;
  • Now, the WIKITECHY_CUSTOMERS table would have the following records −
ID NAME AGE ADDRESS SALARY
1 Ramesh 32 Ahmedabad 2000.00
2 Khilan 25 Delhi 1500.00
3 kaushik 23 Kota 2000.00
4 Chaitali 25 Mumbai 6500.00
5 Hardik 27 Bhopal 8500.00
6 Komal 22 Pune 4500.00
7 Muffy 24 Indore 10000.00
  • If you want to modify all the ADDRESS and the SALARY column values in the WIKITECHY_CUSTOMERS table, you do not need to use the WHERE clause as the UPDATE query would be enough as shown in the following code block.
SQL> UPDATE CUSTOMERS
SET ADDRESS = 'Pune', SALARY = 1000.00;
  • Now, WIKITECHY_CUSTOMERS table would have the following records −
ID NAME AGE ADDRESS SALARY
1 Ramesh 32 Pune 1000.00
2 Khilan 25 Pune 1000.00
3 kaushik 23 Pune 1000.00
4 Chaitali 25 Pune 1000.00
5 Hardik 27 Pune 1000.00
6 Komal 22 Pune 1000.00
7 Muffy 24 Pune 1000.00
