I have 2 tables table1 (col1, col2, col3, col4) and table2 (çol1, col2, col5).
Table1 col3 is empty and i want to update data from table2 col5 based on match of table1(col1, col2 ) and table2 (col1, col2).
For SQLite:
UPDATE table1
SET col3 = ( SELECT col5
FROM table2
WHERE (table1.col1, table1.col2)=(table2.col1, table2.col2)
LIMIT 1 )
/* WHERE table1.col3 IS NULL */
If (col1, col2) in table2 is defined as unique then LIMIT 1 may be removed.
For MySQL (the question is MySQL-tagged):
UPDATE table1
JOIN table2 USING (col1, col2)
SET table1.col3 = table2.col5
/* WHERE table1.col3 IS NULL */
(col1, col2) in table2 must be defined as unique. If not then a random value from all possible will be used for updating.
