PostgreSQL Example – How to Update Rows Based On Another Table

Update Rows Based On Another Table

Create Table Of Elves

- Create table called elves
CREATE TABLE elves (
    - string variable
    name varchar(255),
    - integer variable
    age int,
    - string variable
    race varchar(255),
    - string variable
    alive varchar(255)
)

Create Table Of Deaths

- Create table called deaths
CREATE TABLE deaths (
    - string variable
    name varchar(255)
)

Insert Rows Into Elf Table


INSERT INTO elves (name, age, race, alive)
VALUES ('Dallar Woodfoot', 25, 'Elf', 'Yes'),
       ('Cordin Garner', 29, 'Elf', 'Yes'),
       ('Keat Knigh', 24, 'Elf', 'Yes'),
       ('Colbat Nalor', 124, 'Elf', 'Yes')

Insert Rows Into Deaths Table


INSERT INTO deaths (name)
VALUES ('Keat Knigh'),
       ('Colbat Nalor')

View Elves Table


- Retrieve all rows from the view Elf
SELECT * FROM elves
name age race alive
Dallar Woodfoot 25 Elf Yes
Cordin Garner 29 Elf Yes
Keat Knigh 24 Elf Yes
Colbat Nalor 124 Elf Yes

Update Rows Based On Another Table

- Change the value in elves
UPDATE elves
- to set alive to "No"
SET alive = 'No'
- Where the name of the elf is in the list of deaths
WHERE elves.name in (SELECT deaths.name FROM deaths)

View Elves Table

- Retrieve all rows from the view Elf
SELECT * FROM elves
name age race alive
Dallar Woodfoot 25 Elf Yes
Cordin Garner 29 Elf Yes
Keat Knigh 24 Elf No
Colbat Nalor 124 Elf No

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
