PostgreSQL UPDATE Query

The UPDATE Command allows one to manipulate the existing records in a table.You can use the WHERE clause with the UPDATE query to update the selected rows.

PostgreSQL UPDATE Syntax:

The syntax is as follows:

UPDATE table_name
SET column1 = value1,
column2 = value2
[WHERE  condition];

In this, the value of column 1 will be modify to value 1, column 2 to value 2 and similar columnsN to valueN.You can add N number of conditions using AND or OR operators.


UPDATE Example :

Consider the STUDENT table is having the following records

ID NAME AGE ADDRESS
1 Rahul 20 Mysore
2 Kartik 19 Delhi
3 Nidhi 21 Udaipur
4 Prateek 19 Jaipur
5 Jugal 20 Mumbai
6 Abhi 19 Mumbai

The following is an example, which would update AGE for a STUDENT, whose ID is 3

lfcdb=# UPDATE STUDENT SET AGE = 22 WHERE ID = 3;

All the above statements would create the following records in STUDENT table

ID NAME AGE ADDRESS
1 Rahul 20 Mysore
2 Kartik 19 Delhi
3 Nidhi 22 Udaipur
4 Prateek 19 Jaipur
5 Jugal 20 Mumbai
6 Abhi 19 Mumbai
