Question

No Idea why this is not working – could someone please help?

update c set c.images = ""
from j17_content c
inner join j17_jreviews_content rc on rc.contentid = c.id 
inner join j17_categories cat on cat.id = c.catid
where cat.path like "cakes%"
and c.created_by in (62,63,99)
and rc.email = 'email'

error #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 j17_content c inner join j17_jreviews_content rc on rc.contentid = c.id in’ at line 2

UPDATE:

Now trying

UPDATE j17_content c SET c.images=''
inner join j17_jreviews_content rc on rc.contentid = c.id 
inner join j17_categories cat on cat.id = c.catid
where cat.path like 'cakes%'
and c.created_by in (62,63,99)
and rc.email = 'email'

still getting

error #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 ‘inner join j17_jreviews_content rc on rc.contentid = c.id inner join j17_catego’ at line 2

Answer 1

Sorry this is not really the way you guys suggested – but I got a list of IDs and updated them using no joins with an in statement of all the IDs
