Require assistance with a query

[Ashley Jordan]

Hi Guys,

i am currently trying to make a script which will update a table based on the results of 2/3 selects previously executed in the script?</p?

I am relatively new to this and believe the SET would be best for this,

can you advise on the below?

This is the part i am looking at,

my $NULL = NULL;

set @query1 := (SELECT (field,) FROM table WHERE table='NULL' \G);
SELECT @query1 
set @query2 := (SELECT (field2) FROM table2 WHERE field2='NULL' \G);
SELECT @query2

IF (@query1) = $NULL { 
    set @query3 := (SELECT (field3) FROM table3 WHERE field3=(@query2)
+ AND field4 LIKE 'test');

set query 5 := (UPDATE table5 SET field5=(@query3) WHERE field6=(@quer
+y2);

I would pretty much like to update a field in table A only if that field in the table = A, what i will be updating it to is the content within a field in Table B ( that field must also contain the word test within another field in Table B)

I hope this is clear what i would like to achieve, if not please let me know!

Thanks

Ashley

Update: Resolved. made a mistake :)

Doesn't look much like the Perl I use. Are you sure you are in the right place? ;-)

At least query (in title) was on point.
