MySQL Insert Where query

Question

What\'s wrong with this query:

INSERT INTO Users( weight, desiredWeight ) VALUES ( 160, 145 ) WHERE id = 1;

It works without the WHE

Answer 1

You can't combine a WHERE clause with a VALUES clause. You have two options as far as I am aware-

1. INSERT specifying values

   INSERT INTO Users(weight, desiredWeight) 
   VALUES (160,145)
   

2. INSERT using a SELECT statement

   INSERT INTO Users(weight, desiredWeight) 
   SELECT weight, desiredWeight 
   FROM AnotherTable 
   WHERE id = 1
