A typo in a webapp left ~150 records damaged overnight
I was hoping to automate this, but may just use regex to make update
statements for this
basically , i have this situation:
table a ( main record )
id , id_field , fullname
table b ( extended profiles )
id_field , last_name , first_name, middle_name , age , etc
id_field on table a was left null due to a typo with the orm
i've tried many variations to automate it, none seem to work
i think this attempt most clearly expresses what I was trying to do
UPDATE table_a a set id_field = ( SELECT id_field FROM table_b b
WHERE a.first_name || ' ' || b.last_name = a.fullname ) WHERE id_field
IS NULL ;
I'd be greatful if anyone has a pointer
