基本上,我想这样做:
update vehicles_vehicle v
join shipments_shipment s on v.shipment_id=s.id
set v.price=s.price_per_vehicle;
我很确定这在MySQL(我的背景)中可以工作,但在postgres中似乎不起作用。我得到的错误是:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "join"
LINE 1: update vehicles_vehicle v join shipments_shipment s on v.shi...
^
当然有一个简单的方法来做到这一点,但我找不到合适的语法。那么,我该如何在PostgreSQL中写这个呢?
在这种情况下,Mark Byers的答案是最优的。
尽管在更复杂的情况下,你可以使用select查询返回rowids和计算值,并将其附加到更新查询,如下所示:
with t as (
-- Any generic query which returns rowid and corresponding calculated values
select t1.id as rowid, f(t2, t2) as calculatedvalue
from table1 as t1
join table2 as t2 on t2.referenceid = t1.id
)
update table1
set value = t.calculatedvalue
from t
where id = t.rowid
这种方法允许您开发和测试选择查询,并在两个步骤中将其转换为更新查询。
所以在你的例子中,结果查询将是:
with t as (
select v.id as rowid, s.price_per_vehicle as calculatedvalue
from vehicles_vehicle v
join shipments_shipment s on v.shipment_id = s.id
)
update vehicles_vehicle
set price = t.calculatedvalue
from t
where id = t.rowid
请注意,列别名是必须的,否则PostgreSQL将抱怨列名的模糊性。
