Question

I am trying to update row 3(id=8) in my table here

Using the following query:

UPDATE player_ban 
   SET until = Now(), 
       unbanned_by = "MrSnare", 
       unbanned_reason = "test", 
       unbanned_date = Now() 
 WHERE name = "MCYasman" 
     & unbanned_by = NULL 
     & until > NOW();

The query is running but no rows are being updated.

What is going wrong?

Answer 1

I would alter your query to use AND instead of the & and unbanned_by IS NULL. So the query will be:

UPDATE player_ban 
SET until = Now(), 
    unbanned_by = "MrSnare", 
    unbanned_reason = "test", 
    unbanned_date = Now() 
WHERE name = "MCYasman" 
  AND unbanned_by IS NULL 
  AND until > now();

An value will never be = null, you have to use IS NULL.
