Question

I got an field named last in MySQL, it has an attribute: datetime so the last is displaying like this: 2012-01-27 20:21:35, now I need to update rows with datetime bigger than 2012-01-20 20:00:00 so the query should look similar to:

UPDATE `player`
SET `hh` = `hh` + 1000
WHERE `last` > '2012-01-20 20:00:00'

Ofc. the above example won’t work, but its just a sketch on how it should look like & what I want to reach.

How it can be done in MySQL query? Or maybe I’ll have to use other language for this task?

Answer 1

Use unix_timestamp

UPDATE `player`
SET `hh` = `hh` + 1000
WHERE unix_timestamp(`last`) > unix_timestamp('2012-01-20 20:00:00')
