Key Concepts Explanation
Updating Data in a Table
To update data in a table, we typically use the UPDATE
SQL command. There are two main clauses involved in the update operation:
SET
clause: This clause specifies the columns that need to be updated.WHERE
clause: This clause is optional and is used to specify a condition to filter for rows that need to be updated. It is recommended to have an indexed column in theWHERE
clause for performance reasons.
Code Example:
UPDATE users
SET user_role = 'A'
WHERE user_id = 1
