Updating Rows in a Table
The UPDATE statement can be used for updating certain rows from a table.
Following is the syntax of the UPDATE statement:
UPDATE table_name
SET column1 = value1,
column2 = value2,
...
WHERE condition;
The UPDATE statement selects rows from the targeted table based on the given condition and updates them with the values given after the SET keyword, for their corresponding columns.
Example: Updating Students' Data
Consider a table students having the columns name, age, score and grade. By default the grade is set to 'None' for all students.
We would like to change the grade to 'A+' for all the students with a score greater than 90. This can be done using the following query:
UPDATE students
SET
grade= 'A+'
WHERE
score > 90;
