Question

I need to insert one value into a table based on an auto incremented ID, for example the ID = 7 and I want to insert “this” into a column based on the ID “7”.

I basically want to do this, but am not sure how to do it without auto incrementing the ID.

INSERT INTO table (tableData) VALUES (12345) 
FROM table
WHERE ID = 7

I tried this:

INSERT INTO table (tableData) 
SELECT ID FROM table
WHERE ID  7

But that just inserts the number 7 into the column and auto increments the table. Is there a way to insert a value based on the ID without auto-incrementing another row?

Thanks in advance

I figured out the problem. All I need to do was use UPDATE instead of INSERT so I used

UPDATE tablename 
SET columnname ="something" 
WHERE ID = "7"
