通过自加入进行更新

Question

我想更新一个表以指示某些行是其他行的父行，因此我在表中添加了“parentid”列。以下查询找到所有父级：

SELECT ca1.id, ca2.id 
FROM contactassociations ca1
JOIN contactassociations ca2 ON (ca1.contactid = ca2.contactid)
where ca1.entitytable = 'EMPLOYER' AND
ca2.entitytable = 'CLIENT';

但是当我尝试调整该语法来进行更新时，它不起作用：

UPDATE contactassociations ca1
SET    ca1.parentid = ca2.id
JOIN  contactassociations ca2 ON (ca1.contactid = ca2.contactid)
WHERE ca1.entitytable = 'EMPLOYER' AND ca2.entitytable = 'CLIENT';

我得到：

Error starting at line 6 in command:
UPDATE contactassociations ca1
SET    ca1.parentid = ca2.id
JOIN  contactassociations ca2 ON (ca1.contactid = ca2.contactid)
WHERE ca1.entitytable = 'EMPLOYER' AND ca2.entitytable = 'CLIENT'
Error at Command Line:7 Column:28
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
00933. 00000 -  "SQL command not properly ended"
*Cause:    
*Action:

请注意，第 7 行第 28 列是“SET”行的末尾。

Answer 1

Oracle 不支持 UPDATE 语句中的 JOIN 子句。

使用这个：

MERGE
INTO    contactassociations ca1
USING   contactassociations ca2
ON      (
        ca1.contactid = ca2.contactid
        AND ca1.entitytable = 'EMPLOYER'
        AND  ca2.entitytable = 'CLIENT'
        )
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET     parentid = ca2.id

Answer 2

我发现以下样式更容易阅读，但是您需要在 UPDATE 关键字后面使用别名，而不是表名称：

UPDATE ca1
SET    ca1.parentid = ca2.id
FROM contactassociations ca1
LEFT JOIN contactassociations ca2 ON (ca1.contactid = ca2.contactid)
WHERE ca1.entitytable = 'EMPLOYER' AND ca2.entitytable = 'CLIENT'

-- Method #1
update emp set MANAGERNAME= mgr.EMPNAME
FROM SelfJoinTable emp , SelfJoinTable mgr where emp.MANAGERID = mgr.EMPID

-- Method #2
update emp 
set  MANAGERNAME= mgr.EMPNAME  
FROM SelfJoinTable emp 
   LEFT OUTER JOIN SelfJoinTable mgr 
   ON emp.MANAGERID = mgr.EMPID

-- Method #3
update emp 
set  MANAGERNAME= mgr.EMPNAME  
FROM SelfJoinTable emp 
   JOIN SelfJoinTable mgr 
   ON emp.MANAGERID = mgr.EMPID

-- Method #4
update emp 
set  MANAGERNAME= mgr.EMPNAME 
 FROM SelfJoinTable emp 
   inner JOIN SelfJoinTable mgr 
   ON emp.MANAGERID = mgr.EMPID
