Question

I’d like to update table1 based upon a sum principally applied on table2 but including a single value from table 3.

table2 has a column that’s FKd to table1’s id column, and the sum is based upon them matching.

UPDATE table1, table2 
SET table1.column1 = 
(SELECT SUM( (SELECT constant FROM table3) +
          (SELECT table2.sum_number 
           WHERE table2.table2_id1 = table1.id) ) ) 
WHERE table1.id = table2.table2_id1;

That doesn’t work for me.

Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

UPDATE table1, table2 
SET table1.column1 = 
(
    SELECT SUM( 
        (SELECT constant FROM table3) +
        (SELECT table2.sum_number *** WHERE table2.table2_id1 = table1.id) 
    ) 
) 
WHERE table1.id = table2.table2_id1;

There is no “FROM table2,table1” in the area marked with astericks above.
