UPDATE
======
Common Syntax
-------------
.. code-block::
UPDATE table_reference
SET col_name1={expr1} [, col_name2={expr2}] ...
[WHERE where_condition]
Syntax Restrictions
-------------------
- Subqueries are not supported, including correlated and non-correlated subqueries.
- The WHERE condition in the UPDATE statement does not support arithmetic expressions and their subqueries.
- Modifying reference tables is not supported during an update of multiple tables.
- Updating the sharding key field of a logical table is not supported because this operation may cause data redistribution.
- Setting **datetime** to **1582** or any value smaller in UPDATE statements is not supported.
- UPDATE cannot be used to update sharding key value **DEFAULT**.
- Repeatedly updating the same field in an UPDATE statement is not supported.
- Updating a sharding key using UPDATE JOIN syntax is not supported.
- UPDATE cannot be used to update self-joins.
- Referencing other object columns in assignment statements or expressions may cause unexpected update results. Example:
update tbl_1 a,tbl_2 b set a.name=concat(b.name,'aaaa'),b.name=concat(a.name,'bbbb') on a.id=b.id
- UPDATE JOIN supports only joins with WHERE conditions.
