Hi,
  I have a quick MySQL question...if this is not the correct forum for
it, then someone please point me to the right one.

  Can the UPDATE statement have conditional check embedded in it?  I
have a page that displays a record (in a FORM format) that the user can
change the information on each column.  I want to check each column and
see which has been changed and update the table for entries that were
changed only.

for each column data {
  if column is changed
      then update;
  else
      do nothing;
}

Maybe I am making this too complicated than it needs and just go ahead
and update all of the columns regardless with the new values, regardless
they are actually different or not.

Thanks in advance,
-Peter
