2.8. Updates#
You can update existing rows using theUPDATE
command. Suppose you discover the temperature readings are all off by 2 degrees after November 28. You can correct the data as follows:
UPDATE weather SET temp_hi = temp_hi - 2, temp_lo = temp_lo - 2 WHERE date > '1994-11-28';
Look at the new state of the data:
SELECT * FROM weather; city | temp_lo | temp_hi | prcp | date---------------+---------+---------+------+------------ San Francisco | 46 | 50 | 0.25 | 1994-11-27 San Francisco | 41 | 55 | 0 | 1994-11-29 Hayward | 35 | 52 | | 1994-11-29(3 rows)
