What is the fastest way to update the record with the biggest id value where nick='a' (in one query)?
My table looks like this:
+------+--------+----+
| nick | post | id |
+------+--------+----+
| a | tehe | 1 |
| a | tehe 2 | 2 |
| a | tehe 3 | 3 |
| b | omg | 4 |
| b | omg 2 | 5 |
| a | tehe 4 | 6 |
| b | omg 3 | 7 |开发者_如何学Python
+------+--------+----+
I tried:
update (select * from posts where nick='a' order by id limit 1) as last_id set post='tehe 4 updated';
but The target table last_id of the UPDATE is not updatable Now I know it shouldn't work.
update posts set post = 'tehe 4? updated' where id = (select id from posts where nick='a' order by id desc limit 1);
but You can't specify target table 'posts' for update in FROM clause
update posts
set post = 'tehe 4 updated'
where nick='a'
order by id desc limit 1
