SQL UPDATE with LIKE

Question

I was trying to update approx 20,000 records in a table by using statements like this one, however, I got the message say 0 row(s) affected so it didn\'t work.<

Answer 1

this is because your column name log_name should not be in ' quotes.

"log_name" LIKE "%PC01%" condition will always fail and zero rows will get updated, try this:

UPDATE nc_files 
SET title ="Worklog details" 
WHERE log_name LIKE "%PC01%";
