Basic Update Statements |
Update all records |
UPDATE <table_name> SET <column_name> = <value> |
CREATE TABLE test AS SELECT object_name, object_type FROM all_objects;SELECT DISTINCT object_name FROM test; UPDATE test SET object_name = 'OOPS'; SELECT DISTINCT object_name FROM test; ROLLBACK; |
Update a specific record |
UPDATE <table_name> SET <column_name> = <value> WHERE <column_name> = <value> |
SELECT DISTINCT object_name FROM test;UPDATE test SET object_name = 'LOAD' WHERE object_name = 'DUAL'; COMMIT; SELECT DISTINCT object_name FROM test |
Update based on a single queried value |
UPDATE <table_name> SET <column_name> = ( SELECT <column_name> FROM <table_name WHERE <column_name> <condition> <value>); |
CREATE TABLE test AS SELECT table_name FROM all_tables;ALTER TABLE test ADD (lower_name VARCHAR2(30)); SELECT * FROM test WHERE table_name LIKE '%A%'; UPDATE test t SET lower_name = ( SELECT DISTINCT lower(table_name) FROM all_tables a WHERE a.table_name = t.table_name AND a.table_name LIKE '%A%'); COMMIT; SELECT * FROM test; |
Update based on a query returning multiple values |
UPDATE <table_name> <alias> SET (<column_name>,<column_name> ) = ( SELECT (<column_name>, <column_name>) FROM <table_name> WHERE <alias.column_name> = <alias.column_name>); |
CREATE TABLE test AS SELECT t. table_name, t. tablespace_name, s.extent_management FROM user_tables t, user_tablespaces s WHERE t.tablespace_name = s. tablespace_name AND 1=2;desc test SELECT * FROM test; -- does not work UPDATE test SET (table_name, tablespace_name) = ( SELECT table_name, tablespace_name FROM user_tables); -- works INSERT INTO test (table_name, tablespace_name) SELECT table_name, tablespace_name FROM user_tables; COMMIT; SELECT * FROM test WHERE table_name LIKE '%A%'; -- does not work UPDATE test t SET tablespace_name, extent_management = ( SELECT tablespace_name, extent_management FROM user_tables a, user_tablespaces u WHERE t.table_name = a.table_name AND a.tablespace_name = u.tablespace_name AND t.table_name LIKE '%A%'); -- does not works UPDATE test t SET (tablespace_name, extent_management) = ( SELECT DISTINCT u.tablespace_name, u.extent_management FROM user_tables a, user_tablespaces u WHERE t.table_name = a.table_name AND a.tablespace_name = u.tablespace_name AND t.table_name LIKE '%A%'); rollback; -- works UPDATE test t SET (tablespace_name, extent_management) = ( SELECT DISTINCT u.tablespace_name, u.extent_management FROM user_tables a, user_tablespaces u WHERE t.table_name = a.table_name AND a.tablespace_name = u.tablespace_name) WHERE t.table_name LIKE '%A%'; COMMIT; SELECT * FROM test; |
Update the results of a SELECT statement |
UPDATE (<SELECT Statement>) SET <column_name> = <value>; |
SELECT * FROM test WHERE table_name LIKE '%A%';SELECT * FROM test WHERE table_name NOT LIKE '%A%'; UPDATE ( SELECT * FROM test WHERE table_name NOT LIKE '%A%') SET extent_management = 'Unknown'; SELECT * FROM test; |
|
Correlated Update |
Single column |
UPDATE TABLE(<SELECT STATEMENT>) <alias> SET <column_name> = ( SELECT <column_name> FROM <table_name> <alias> WHERE <alias.table_name> = <alias.table_name>; |
conn hr/hr CREATE TABLE empbak AS SELECT * FROM employees; UPDATE employees SET salary = salary * 1.1; COMMIT; UPDATE employees t1 SET salary = ( SELECT salary FROM empbak t2 WHERE t1.employee_id = t2.employee_id); |
Multi-column |
UPDATE TABLE(<SELECT STATEMENT>) <alias> SET <column_name> = <value>; |
UPDATE table1 t_alias1 SET (col1, col2) = ( SELECT col1, col2 FROM table2 t_alias2 WHERE t_alias1.col3 = t_alias2.col3); |
|
Nested Table Update |

Update With Returning Clause |
Returning Clause demo |
UPDATE (<SELECT Statement>) SET ....; |
conn hr/hr var bnd1 NUMBER var bnd2 VARCHAR2(30) var bnd3 NUMBER UPDATE employees SET job_id ='SA_MAN', salary = salary + 1000, department_id = 140 WHERE last_name = 'Jones' RETURNING salary*0.25, last_name, department_id INTO :bnd1, :bnd2, :bnd3; print bnd1 print bnd2 print bnd3 |
conn hr/hr variable bnd1 NUMBER UPDATE employees SET salary = salary * 1.1 WHERE department_id = 100 RETURNING SUM(salary) INTO :bnd1; print bnd1 |
|
Update Object Table |
Update a table object |
UPDATE (<SELECT Statement>) SET ....; |
UPDATE table1 p SET VALUE(p) = (SELECT VALUE(q) FROM table2 q WHERE p.id = q.id) WHERE p.id = 10; |
|
Record Update |
Update based on a record |
UPDATE <table_name> SET ROW = <record_name>; |
CREATE TABLE t AS SELECT table_name, tablespace_name FROM all_tables;SELECT DISTINCT tablespace_name FROM t; DECLARE trec t%ROWTYPE; BEGIN trec.table_name := 'DUAL'; trec.tablespace_name := 'NEW_TBSP'; UPDATE t SET ROW = trec WHERE table_name = 'DUAL'; COMMIT; END; / SELECT DISTINCT tablespace_name FROM t; |
|
Update Partitioned Table |
Update only records in a single partition |
UPDATE <table_name> PARTITION <partition_name> SET <column_name> = <value> WHERE <expression>; |
UPDATE sales PARTITION (sales_q1_2005) s SET s.promo_id = 494 WHERE amount_sold > 9000; |
