update mysql row (You can't specify target table 'x' for update in FROM clause)

Posted 2021-03-13 未月廿三

sql语句(update/delete都会出现此问题)

update x set available_material_id = null where id not in (select id from x where additional_info = 1);

mistake

大致意思是，在同一语句中，不能先select出同一表中的某些值，再update这个表。

You can\'t specify target table \'x\' for update in FROM clause

mysql5.7解决办法

update x left join
       x xx
       on x.id = xx.id and xx.additional_info = 1
    set available_material_id = null
    where xx.id is null;

老办法(有人说5.7已经不能用了)

原始:

DELETE FROM tempA WHERE tid IN (
SELECT MAX(tid) AS tid FROM tempA GROUP BY name,age
)

改造后

DELETE FROM tempA WHERE tid NOT IN (
SELECT t.tid FROM (
SELECT MAX(tid) AS tid FROM tempA GROUP BY name,age
) t
)

查询的时候增加一层中间表，就可以避免该错误。
