H2 Database - Update

The UPDATE query is used to update or modify the existing records in a table. We can use WHERE clause with UPDATE query to update the selected rows, otherwise all the rows would be affected.
Following is the basic syntax of the UPDATE query.
UPDATE tableName [ [ AS ] newTableAlias ] SET 
{ { columnName = { DEFAULT | expression } } [,...] } | 
{ ( columnName [,...] ) = ( select ) } 
[ WHERE expression ] [ ORDER BY order [,...] ] [ LIMIT expression ]

In this UPDATE syntax, we can combine more than one condition by using AND or OR clauses.
Consider the CUSTOMER table having the following records.
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ 
| ID | NAME     | AGE | ADDRESS   | SALARY   | 
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ 
|  1 | Ramesh   |  32 | Ahmedabad |  2000.00 | 
|  2 | Khilan   |  25 | Delhi     |  1500.00 | 
|  3 | kaushik  |  23 | Kota      |  2000.00 | 
|  4 | Chaitali |  25 | Mumbai    |  6500.00 | 
|  5 | Hardik   |  27 | Bhopal    |  8500.00 | 
|  6 | Komal    |  22 | MP        |  4500.00 | 
|  7 | Muffy    |  24 | Indore    | 10000.00 | 
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ 

If you want to get the customer table along with the given data, execute the following queries.
CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER (id number, name varchar(20), age number, address varchar(20), 
   salary number);  
INSERT into CUSTOMER values (1, 'Ramesh', 32, 'Ahmedabad', 2000); 
INSERT into CUSTOMER values (2, 'Khilan', 25, 'Delhi', 1500); 
INSERT into CUSTOMER values (3, 'kaushik', 23, 'Kota', 2000); 
INSERT into CUSTOMER values (4, 'Chaitali', 25, 'Mumbai', 6500); 
INSERT into CUSTOMER values (5, 'Hardik', 27, 'Bhopal', 8500); 
INSERT into CUSTOMER values (6, 'Komal', 22, 'MP', 4500); 
INSERT into CUSTOMER values (7, 'Muffy', 24, 'Indore', 10000);

The following command is an example, which would update ADDRESS for a customer whose ID is 6 −
UPDATE CUSTOMERS SET ADDRESS = 'Pune' WHERE ID = 6;

Now, CUSTOMERS table would have the following records. We can check the customer table records by executing the following query.
SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS;

The above query produces the following result.
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ 
| ID | NAME     | AGE | ADDRESS   | SALARY   | 
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ 
|  1 | Ramesh   |  32 | Ahmedabad |  2000.00 | 
|  2 | Khilan   |  25 | Delhi     |  1500.00 | 
|  3 | kaushik  |  23 | Kota      |  2000.00 | 
|  4 | Chaitali |  25 | Mumbai    |  6500.00 | 
|  5 | Hardik   |  27 | Bhopal    |  8500.00 | 
|  6 | Komal    |  22 | Pune      |  4500.00 | 
|  7 | Muffy    |  24 | Indore    | 10000.00 | 
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ 

To modify all ADDRESS and SALARY column values in CUSTOMERS table, we need not use the WHERE clause. The UPDATE query would be as follows −
UPDATE CUSTOMERS SET ADDRESS = 'Pune', SALARY = 1000.00; 

Now, CUSTOMERS table would have the following records. We can check the customer table records by executing the following query.
SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS;

The above query produces the following result −
+----+----------+-----+---------+---------+ 
| ID | NAME     | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY  | 
+----+----------+-----+---------+---------+ 
|  1 | Ramesh   |  32 | Pune    | 1000.00 | 
|  2 | Khilan   |  25 | Pune    | 1000.00 | 
|  3 | kaushik  |  23 | Pune    | 1000.00 | 
|  4 | Chaitali |  25 | Pune    | 1000.00 | 
|  5 | Hardik   |  27 | Pune    | 1000.00 | 
|  6 | Komal    |  22 | Pune    | 1000.00 | 
|  7 | Muffy    |  24 | Pune    | 1000.00 |
