Question

I know this doesn’t work:

UPDATE `states` SET `country_id` = '83', `position` = (1,2,3) WHERE `states`.`id` IN (381, 378, 380);

Is there a way to update the row based on

id = 381; position = 1
id = 378; position = 2
id = 380; position = 3

Thanks.

The simplest is to use three separate queries.

It is possible with a single query, but more complicated:

UPDATE states
SET country_id = '83',
    position = CASE id WHEN 381 THEN 1
                       WHEN 378 THEN 2
                       WHEN 370 THEN 3 END
WHERE id IN (381, 378, 380)
