Question

Lets say I have multiple commands like 5000 which updates some column and row in databse – it is number for example

UPDATE salary SET money=2000000 WHERE person=55;

Is there any way how to update such data without destroying the original value? Lets say the money has already exiting and different value? I have searched google and MySQL manual but I did not find any useful query for this. Is there any way how to update such data without destroying the original value? Thank you.

Your guess was almost perfect.

UPDATE salary SET money=money+2000000 WHERE person=55;
