How do I combine two UPDATE statements in one MySQL query?

Question

Greetings,

How would one go about performing two UPDATE statements in one query, for example:

UPDATE albums SET isFeatured = \'0\' WHERE isFeatured

I don't think you can, or at least not in a neat or practical way.

If you're wanting to do one call from php/whatever then you can seperate them with semicolons thus:

UPDATE albums SET isFeatured = '0' WHERE isFeatured = '1';UPDATE albums SET isFeatured = '1' WHERE id = '$id';
