UPDATE shop_category 
SET name = 'Secolul XVI - XVIII' 
    AND name_eng = '16th to 18th centuries' 
WHERE category_id = 4768

The following error is raised:

How to fix this?

shop_category table structure:

category_id   mediumint(8)
name        varchar(250)
name_eng      varchar(250)

Answer 1

You don’t need the AND keyword. Here’s the correct syntax of the UPDATE statement:

UPDATE 
    shop_category 
SET 
    name = 'Secolul XVI - XVIII', 
    name_eng = '16th to 18th centuries' 
WHERE 
    category_id = 4768
