I'm trying to update the column visited
to give it the value 1. I use MySQL workbench, and I'm writing the statement in the SQL editor from inside the workbench. I'm writing the following command:
UPDATE tablename SET columnname=1;
It gives me the following error:
You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table without
a WHERE that uses a KEY column To disable safe mode, toggle the option
....
I followed the instructions, and I unchecked the safe update
option from the Edit
menu then Preferences
then SQL Editor
. The same error still appear & I'm not able to update this value. Please, tell me what is wrong?
Answer
I found the answer. The problem was that I have to precede the table name with the schema name. i.e, the command should be:
UPDATE schemaname.tablename SET columnname=1;
Thanks all.
