Increment an int value by one in a single update
Posted on 2013-01-08
Hi Experts,
When I do an update on the table I need to automatically increment one of the fields something like so:
UPDATE MyTable
SET
Value1 = 'NewValue'
Value2 = Value2 + 1
Is there a way to do this somehow?
Value2 is used kind of like a version number! Don't ask!
Thanks!

you can write a update query as you mentioned
UPDATE MyTable
SET
Value1 = 'NewValue'
Value2 = Value2 + 1
or another way can be to write a trigger...

The problem you may be getting is your syntax, you're missing a comma, just before 'Value2 =':
UPDATE MyTable
SET
Value1 = 'NewValue',
Value2 = Value2 + 1
