Question

Hello i am trying to do combine UPDATE and SELECT statement in one query.

This is the one i tried. but didnt work.

$this->$db2->query('
  UPDATE users
  SET total = (total - (
    SELECT floatingnumber
    FROM posts
    WHERE post_id = "'.$this->post_id.'"
    LIMIT 1
  ))
  WHERE id = "'.$this->post_user->id.'"
  LIMIT 1
');

Answer 1

try this one with INNER JOIN , without SELECT

UPDATE users u 
INNER JOIN posts p
ON  // realationship between tables
 SET total = total - p.floatingnumber

WHERE p.post_id = "'.$this->post_id.'"

AND  u.id = "'.$this->post_user->id.'"

 LIMIT 1
