Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1 ( value int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.59 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1 values(10); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable1;
Output
+-------+ | value | +-------+ | 10 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to create second table −
mysql> create table DemoTable2 ( value1 int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable2 values(50); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable2 values(100); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable2;
Output
+--------+ | value1 | +--------+ | 50 | | 100 | +--------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, update a field in a MySQL database table by adding a value from the first table to a single value in the second table −
mysql> set @myValue=(select value from DemoTable1); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> update DemoTable2 set value1=value1+@myValue; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.11 sec) Rows matched: 2 Changed: 2 Warnings: 0
Let us check the table records once again −
mysql> select *from DemoTable2;
Output
+--------+ | value1 | +--------+ | 60 | | 110 | +--------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
