Update and select in one query

Question

I found similar questions with correct answers. But they\'re a bit complicated for me. I just want a simple basic statement.

I have:

string sql = \"         


        

Answer 1

UPDATE tblPopUp  
SET PopUp = 'False', Period = Period  
OUTPUT DELETED.Period
WHERE DisplayNo = 1

For more information about OUTPUT clause please check this post.

Answer 2

Try This

UPDATE tblPopUp 
             SET PopUp = 'False' 
           WHERE DisplayNo = '1'
(
SELECT Period  
             FROM tblPopUp 
            WHERE DisplayNo = '1'
)

Answer 3

You can't.

There's no convention in a SQL UPDATE statement for returning data. And vice versa -- a SELECT statement doesn't write information to a table.

Answer 4

Old Q, but still in usage, for psql solution, try this:

UPDATE table SET column = value
WHERE condition
RETURNING column;

Answer 5

The correct way to do this (now for MySQL 5+), would be with a stored procedure.
