Set or edit field values of table rows that have a matching other value in Python 3 and sqlite3?
Is there a way in sqlite3 in Python 3 to edit/set the description of the last two rows of the table animals here, because they have a matching date?
| id | date | animal | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2022-04-01 | bird | domestic canary |
| 1 | 2022-04-06 | cat | NULL |
| 2 | 2022-04-06 | dog | NULL |
When I use the following command, nothing really happens:
UPDATE animals SET description='unknown' WHERE description IS NULL AND date=2022-04-06
I guess it finds the 2 rows matching the date, but doesn't know which one to edit.
Is there a simple way to set the description for both without having to bring the id, as secondary reference column, into play? id is the primary keyed column.
Thanks.
