Question

How can I modify this statement to set the region value where there are multiple values in the location_town column?

UPDATE `wp_em_locations` SET `location_region` = 'The-Valley'
WHERE `location_town` = 'Bond'

IE: Bond is not the only town, I have many town names but all should be used to set location_region = The-Valley.

How do I accomplish this using one statement? Or do i need to run the same statement for each town name?

Answer 1

You can use either an OR or IN statement

WHERE `location_town` IN ('Bond', 'OtherTown')

or (no pun intended)

WHERE `location_town` = 'Bond' OR `location_town` = 'OtherTown'
