Asunto: [GENERAL] Update Join Query

Hi,

Looking for the correct syntax for an UPDATE LEFT JOIN query in PostgreSQL.

The equivalent MySQL query is :

    UPDATE

        Foo f LEFT JOIN Goo g on f.Foo_ID = g.Goo_ID
    SET

        f.Foo_ID = g.Goo_ID
    WHERE

        f.Foo_ID IS NOT NULL;


 When I try to run this in Postgres, i get the following error:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "LEFT"


Is it possible to have UPDATE JOIN queries in PostgreSQL?

Thanks.


Try this..

UPDATE Foo f 
    SET f.Foo_ID = g.Goo_ID
FROM (
    select g.Goo_ID from Goo g
    RIGHT JOIN Foo f on (f.Foo_ID = g.Goo_ID)
    WHERE f.Foo_ID IS NOT NULL;
    ) g
