Question

I have the following database table.

 id     article_content       article_views
   1       content..             48

I am trying to increase the value of the column article_views using mysql query.

I know I can fetch the number and then add +1 and then update the value, but is there any better way to do this?

Thanks 🙂

Your query becomes –

Update TABLE_NAME SET article_views = article_views+1 WHERE id = 'your_id'
