Question

I have tried a solution that seems to work for someone else on this question:

Update table a from table b where (conditions)
I can not seem to get it working, MySql gives me a syntax error.

I have two tables, and I need to update a column in one table to the value of another column where an id matches in both tables.

UPDATE video_data SET video_data.date_timestamp = video.date_timestamp FROM video_data JOIN video ON video_data.video_id = video.video_id

I am not sure what the issue is with my syntax. I am quite tired and maybe it is just my eyes playing with me. Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Try this syntax out:

UPDATE video_data, video 
SET video_data.date_timestamp = video.date_timestamp
WHERE  video_data.video_id = video.video_id
