MYSQL Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value

Question

When the SQL query below is executed:

UPDATE shop_category 
SET name = \'Secolul XVI - XVIII\' 
    AND name_eng = \'16th to 18th centuries\' 
WHERE category         


        

Answer 1

I experienced this error when using bindParam, and specifying PDO::PARAM_INT where I was actually passing a string. Changing to PDO::PARAM_STR fixed the error.

Answer 2

I did experience this error when I tried doing an WHERE EXIST where the subquery matched 2 columns that accidentially was different types. The two tables was also different storage engines.

One column was a CHAR (90) and the other was a BIGINT (20).

One table was InnoDB and the other was MEMORY.

Part of query:

[...] AND EXISTS (select objectid from temp_objectids where temp_objectids.objectid = items_raw.objectid );

Changing the column type on the one column from BIGINT to CHAR solved the issue.

Answer 3

If you're getting this problem with an insert that looks like the one below, the problem may simply be the lack of a space between -- and the comment text:

insert into myTable (a, b, c)
values (
   123 --something
  ,345 --something else
  ,567 --something something else
);

The problem with this is that the --something should actually be -- something with a space.

Answer 4

Try replacing the AND with ,

UPDATE shop_category 
SET name = 'Secolul XVI - XVIII', name_eng = '16th to 18th centuries' 
WHERE category_id = 4768

The UPDATE Syntax shows comma should be used as the separator.

Answer 5

It seems mysql handles the type casting gracefully with SELECT statements. The shop_id field is of type varchar but the select statements works

select * from shops where shop_id = 26244317283;

But when you try updating the fields

update stores set store_url = 'https://test-url.com' where shop_id = 26244317283;

It fails with error Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value: '1t5hxq9'

You need to put the shop_id 26244317283 in quotes '26244317283' for the query to work since the field is of type varchar not int

update stores set store_url = 'https://test-url.com' where shop_id = '26244317283';

Answer 6

Mainly invalid query strings will give this warning.

Wrong due to a subtle syntax error (misplaced right parenthesis) when using INSTR function:

INSERT INTO users (user_name) SELECT name FROM site_users WHERE
INSTR(status, 'active'>0);

Correct:

INSERT INTO users (user_name) SELECT name FROM site_users WHERE
INSTR(status, 'active')>0;
