I tried :
UPDATE closure JOIN item ON ( item_id = id )
SET checked = 0
WHERE ancestor_id = 1
And:
UPDATE closure, item
SET checked = 0
WHERE ancestor_id = 1 AND item_id = id
Both works with MySQL, but those give me a syntax error in SQLite.
How can I make this UPDATE / JOIN works with SQLite version 3.5.9 ?
You can\'t. SQLite doesn\'t support JOINs in UPDATE statements.
But, you can probably do this with a subquery instead:
UPDATE closure SET checked = 0
WHERE item_id IN (SELECT id FROM item WHERE ancestor_id = 1);
Or something like that; it\'s not clear exactly what your schema is.
You can also use REPLACE then you can use selection with joins.
Like this:
REPLACE INTO clusure
SELECT sel.col1,sel.col2,....,sel.checked --checked should correspond to column that you want to change
FROM (
SELECT *,0 as checked FROM closure LEFT JOIN item ON (item_id = id)
WHERE ancestor_id = 1) sel
