MySQL error code: 1175 during UPDATE in MySQL Workbench

Question

I\'m trying to update the column visited to give it the value 1. I use MySQL workbench, and I\'m writing the statement in the SQL editor from inside the workben

Answer 1

update tablename  set column1 = '' where tablename .id = (select id from tablename2 where tablename2.column2 = 'xyz');
