Question

I unfortunately don’t know what the issue is though?

UPDATE catalog_product_entity_varchar SET value = '{somevalue}'

    FROM cataloginventory_stock_item AS csi
    JOIN catalog_product_entity AS cpe ON cpe.entity_id = csi.product_id
    JOIN catalog_product_entity_varchar AS cpev ON cpev.entity_id = cpe.entity_id

WHERE attribute_id = '1691' AND sku = '605284470695';

Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM cataloginventory_stock_item AS csi      JOIN catalog_pr' at line 3

Answer 1

The SET clause should come after the table references:

UPDATE
  cataloginventory_stock_item AS csi
  JOIN catalog_product_entity AS cpe ON cpe.entity_id = csi.product_id
  JOIN catalog_product_entity_varchar AS cpev ON cpev.entity_id = cpe.entity_id
SET cpev.value = '{somevalue}'
WHERE attribute_id = '1691' AND sku = '605284470695';
