我的数据库中有一个表story_category,其中包含损坏的条目。下一个查询将返回损坏的条目:

SELECT * 
FROM  story_category 
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
    SELECT DISTINCT category.id 
    FROM category INNER JOIN 
       story_category ON category_id=category.id);

我试图删除它们执行:

DELETE FROM story_category 
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
    SELECT DISTINCT category.id 
    FROM category 
      INNER JOIN story_category ON category_id=category.id);

但我得到了下一个错误:

#1093-不能在FROM子句中为更新指定目标表“story_category”

我如何克服这一问题?


当前回答

如果你做不到

UPDATE table SET a=value WHERE x IN
    (SELECT x FROM table WHERE condition);

因为它是同一张桌子,所以你可以一边玩一边做:

UPDATE table SET a=value WHERE x IN
    (SELECT * FROM (SELECT x FROM table WHERE condition) as t)

[更新或删除或其他]

其他回答

DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
    SELECT cid FROM (
        SELECT DISTINCT category.id AS cid FROM category INNER JOIN story_category ON category_id=category.id
    ) AS c
)

如果Priority列值在表中大于等于1,并且在WHERE子句中使用同一表上的子查询,以确保至少有一行包含Priority=1(因为这是在执行更新时要检查的条件),则我会这样做:


UPDATE My_Table
SET Priority=Priority + 1
WHERE Priority >= 1
AND (SELECT TRUE FROM (SELECT * FROM My_Table WHERE Priority=1 LIMIT 1) as t);

我知道它有点难看,但它确实很好。

NexusRex提供了一个非常好的解决方案,可以从同一个表中删除带有联接的内容。

如果您这样做:

DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
        SELECT DISTINCT category.id AS cid FROM category 
        INNER JOIN story_category ON category_id=category.id
)

你会得到一个错误。

但如果您将条件包装为一个以上的选择:

DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
    SELECT cid FROM (
        SELECT DISTINCT category.id AS cid FROM category 
        INNER JOIN story_category ON category_id=category.id
    ) AS c
)

它会做正确的事情!!

解释:查询优化器对第一个查询进行派生合并优化(这会导致它失败并出现错误),但第二个查询不符合派生合并优化的条件。因此,优化器被迫首先执行子查询。

子查询中的内部联接是不必要的。看起来您想要删除story_category中的条目,其中category_id不在类别表中。

而不是:

DELETE FROM story_category 
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
    SELECT DISTINCT category.id 
    FROM category INNER JOIN
         story_category ON category_id=category.id);

执行以下操作:

DELETE FROM story_category 
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
    SELECT DISTINCT category.id 
    FROM category);

如果从前门进来时有些东西不起作用,那么从后门走:

drop table if exists apples;
create table if not exists apples(variety char(10) primary key, price int);

insert into apples values('fuji', 5), ('gala', 6);

drop table if exists apples_new;
create table if not exists apples_new like apples;
insert into apples_new select * from apples;

update apples_new
    set price = (select price from apples where variety = 'gala')
    where variety = 'fuji';
rename table apples to apples_orig;
rename table apples_new to apples;
drop table apples_orig;

速度很快。数据越大越好。
