I have the following tables
TableA.number_id
TableB.number_id
TableA.serial_id
TableB.serial_id
I want to update TableA.number_id with TableB number_id WHEN TableA serial_id == TableB serial_id except when TableA serial_id or TableB serial_id has no value i.e. is null or empty
This almost works except that I'm getting the first number_id inserted when TableA serial_id AND TableB serial_id has a NULL value, the "is not NULL" is being ignored.
$sql = "UPDATE TableA, TableB SET TableA.number_id = TableB.number_id WHERE TableA.serial_id = TableB serial_id AND TableA.serial_id IS NOT NULL";
Something like the following should do it:
UPDATE TableA a JOIN TableB b
ON a.serial_id = b.serial_id
SET
a.number_id = b.number_id
WHERE a.serial_id IS NOT NULL AND b.serial_Id IS NOT NULL
Good luck!
